Here are the Cyber Gnomes finishing the drive train and chasis. These little guys work hard. Notice the nice water jet wheels !

Wow. Those are some nice wheels!
Judging by how close together they are... are you doing a 8-12 wheel drive?!

Sweet machining! Do the wheel "endcaps" fit partially inside of the outer tube for the wheels?
We looked at trying to make some custom wheels, but it was easier for us not too.
Nonetheless, Very cool, and looks like you will have some mad traction with such wide treads.

Yes, the rings were spun on a lathe and a groove machined to accept the plates.
Just like a drop axle 6 wheel drive, but instead of two center wheels we have 4....... and 6 motor drive

This looks like a similar approach we took, hopefully the super pushy robot works out this year.

Well our strategy isn't to be a "pushy" robot, just to be able to get back and forth accross the field with as little hassle as possible. Many teams are going to Omni and Mechanum drives it seems and getting "around" these drive systems is next to impossible. Sooo... if you can't go around it, you've gotta go through it!
