Team 1701 Driving Test

This was the very first time that we tested the drivetrain on the ground. It's a little rough right now, but we think we have the three-wheel drive system down pretty well...

The video is available here:

Improvements will be made shortly to the drive code, and the code for the lifting arm.

Re: Team 1701 Driving Test

Wow. The first time I saw the picture I said "nah.. that ain’t gonna work"
But after seeing the vid I can see why this would be quite effective.

You might want to add some omnis/casters/skids to the rear corners to prevent tipping.

Looks great!

Re: Team 1701 Driving Test

We just added some temporary skids to the back corners. It never tipped, but we were afraid the corners might catch on the carpet.

I see your new walker-design doesn't have any worries over catching on the carpet.

Nice drivetrain btw.
