We're just working out the bugs in the anti-grav system.

Seriously though, we're (team 1552) is going with tank tracks.

ida_noeman · #5 29-01-2006, 13:01

We (1719) are going with 4WD, that's because we're a rookie team and keepin' it simple.

David Guzman · #6 29-01-2006, 13:13

There is no such a thing as impossible

Seeing that it's more than halfway through build season, I figure we can be a little more open with details now:

Our team's testing with our drive system has been very positive, so I think we're definitely going to use it on the final bot:

1. Four omni-wheels driven by 2 large CIMs and 2 small CIMs

2. Four IFI traction wheels on the corners (driven along with the omnis by the small CIMs).

So, we've got 8 powered wheels (with a max of 6 making contact), with holonomic ability.

This gives us holonomic drive (so we can align the whole bot with the target independent of translation) with ramp climbing capabilities. I'll try and post images when we get them.

A very nice poll. Is there any way in the future to have it split into what newbies are going after and what veterans are going after? Like each bar would be split into two sections, showing rookies and veteran votes. It would be interesting to see if any rookies went for crab steering or kiwi for example.

And how does that thing go /forward/? I'm looking at the video, I'm just asking rhetorically.
