Is it me or are there only one of those really huge drive wheels? It looks like the left side is lacking one.

Not just you:

The axle and tranny for it are clearly visible, but the wheel is nowhere to be found

Havign a bigger wheel on the left side would make turning a lot easyer. That is what oval dirt track racers do sometimes in my area.

The 80" rule is horizontal dimension not vertical, you can go as high as you want (with the ceiling of the venue being a limiting factor).

Looking forward to seeing this in action at VCU as well.

I was talking about when they have the arm out at 90 degrees, I tried to design an arm early on exactly like this with the dual 4-bar linkage but could never get around the 80" horizontal rule. I was wondering how they solved it?

Now you have me pondering the same thing, I guess I have another reason to look for it at VCU.

Re: pic: Team 401 Overdrive -- Scoring Position
To answer the many questions,

YES...it is **Barely** within the 80" Cylinder. That was before we cut off 4" from the front of the 4-bars.

Thanks for all the great comments!
