 I personally think that everybody on the team is important. No matter what, every single student, mentor, teacher put their effort all year long to get the team going. So in my opinion, Credit goes to everyone. - Arefin Bari [more] |

Once 312 got their shooter sorted out, they were quite the machine. (Then again, they were always quite a machine.) Can't wait to see them in the ATL!

Just noticed that they are in the Gal division, so go there and send information to the ones who can't go.

I heard that the treads were made by one of their sponsors, Foster Miller.
EDIT: After some more research into Foster Miller, I learned that they manufacture the TALON Robots, which are in use by military personal.

Notice a similarity in the tread?

Back on topic...
We were in a match against 312 and nobody told us that they were a force to be reckoned with. I didn't have a chance to see that robot prior to our match, so when they started driving sideways I was a bit shocked. The swerve drive on that thing worked incredibly well from a bystanders point of view!
From what I could see it has 3 swerve modules each with it's own 3 speed tranny and angle adjusting motor. Can we get some more information on how well it worked throughout the competition (and perhaps even videos)?
