Using the IR receiver the hybrid mode allows the robocoach to drive to the trackball and punch it down and then turn the corner.

lol sweet, are you planning to shoot the ball or is that front mechanism for herding those front pneumatics seem mighty beefy. Also is that orange chain or belt your running their? Because if so, even more sweet.

We are a herding robot and the boxing gloves give us a larger sweet spot for knocking the trackball down. We had some 0.500" pneumatics on the robot originally but they were a just a bit underpowered for our mechanical design and rather than redesign we beefed up the pistons. We don't run them at the full 60 psi so the forces are less. That is eagle orange 85 durometer polyurethane vee belting. Once you get the correct tension on these belts they seem to work just fine. We don't have any scrimmage tests with these belts but I have seen the wheels slip on the carpet during a turn...
