 One wondered why they couldn't practice in the gym that day - because the robotics team had it reserved was the answer. "Oh, we have a robotics team?"
Sigh. This is a team with a low number. They've been around for at least a dozen years. There's still a lot more culture-changing to do. - GaryVoshol [more] |

Well, with direct drive from the Toughbox and a 16" wheel, I'm calculating about 24ft/s. Maybe they plan on bouncing off the end walls to get around the track.
Is there a "custom" coupler on the back side of that wheel? It looks to me like the wheel already has a broached hub on it, which would make it quite easy to mount to. Any details?
Best of luck,

WOW.. Cool wheels... and they ARE big so I guess you expect to run really fast. I think the fastest I would try to control a robot in such an enclosed space as the field is 16 FPS tops. I'll have to watch video of the regional you go to. ( I think if you have wheels THAT big you also have to install airbags...)

If you notice, the frame ends not too far away from the edge of the wheel. I'm guessing the robot isn't more then 24" long.
