HOLY COW!!!!

That.... I can't.... Its so.... wow. 6 motors gearbox. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that a FIRST record?

It looks awesome, great job guys.

I must say though, robots this year are looking a lot like they did for Triple Play. I think that is my only real gripe with Rack n Roll, it seems like its just Triple Play v2.0....

Anyways, that thing is a beast, and I can't wait to see it at the championship.

Zoheb, you're ostensibly ON 118. What's up with the exclamation about the beauty of the robot?

At any rate, 4 CIMS + 2 FP = about 1400W peak power, except the battery couldn't source that much current. If I were running that design, I'd be more than a little concerned about the ability of that dewalt tranny to handle that much torque. But then again, I've just never been for a single point of failure disabling my entire drivetrain.

[Dave McLaughlin]

Prolly the coolest drive i have ever seen... how much power do you get out of it?

[AdamHeard]

That is crazy...

I think you guys have a really good chance at champs if that manipulator works well.... Your drive train is definitely something to be feared at least....

[Travis Covington]

Sick!

[viking1902]

That thing is just crazy awesome! I can't wait to see it in action!

[Chris]

Wow,

That looks like quite the marvel of engineering, i can't wait to check it out at the Houston Regional.

Best of luck finishing it up, and at your competitions.

wow.

[henryBsick]

I have seen that idea being kicked around for years, putting the 4 CIMS and 2 Fischers in one power house and drive from there.... but not on a swerve drive !!!
Amazing job, good luck this year

[Joe Matt]

game over!

[s_forbes]

Very impressive! It appears that you guys have built the optimal design! Swerve drive + 3 speeds + turret mounted arm. What's even more impressive is that you guys have finished with plenty of time left to test and become pros at driving. Good work!

[EricRobodox]

that is awesome!!!!!

thats a beast, and i would be scared just from the sound it has. lol. Great job, that V6 looks killer.

[Kevin Kolodziej]

So...you're driving all 4 wheels off of one point, AND its crab?? Amazing!! Please make it to the Championship so I can see this thing with my own two eyes.

[AdamHeard]

Are you able to rotate the wheels (in pairs at least) independently to skid steer like a tank drive?
