 FIRST teams procrastinate and slack off?!?!? The question is, if you do it in a way that keeps your grandmother proud, would that make it "Gracious Procrastinatism?" - Mr MOE [more] |

Re: pic: Ready for weight, Breakaway 8 wheel
as you see it, it is ~96 pounds. We still have the ball manipulator and the hanging device to finalize. The 8 wheels are to ensure a safe ride over the bump, as well as to keep at least 4 mecanum wheels on the ground at all times. In testing we went over the bump very smoothly compared to 4 wheels, the strafing ability is also looking promising for ball aquasition and fireing.
p.s. we solved the "popping" problem by putting the pivot axle in line with the wheels, in the original design we had a triangle and that was a problem. Last edited by RyanB : 19-02-2010 at 01:32.
