Hmmm...I wonder that Crevo has up their sleeves this year.

I think that picture is near the top of my list for "World's least credible drivetrains". A three wheel killough already seems unlikely due to the complication, weird frame, and lack of pushing ability. Combine that with the idea of using easily toasted RS-550s in a stall-likely application, PLUS the incredibly popular* P60 gearboxes... Well. That would really be one of the all time worst drivetrains, really.
So what are the three P60s actually getting used for?
*Popular because you need to buy so many spare parts to keep them running through a season, of couse.

Does a shape with no corners need bumpers?
wait...how would you make them anyways?

I think applying that logic to a round frame would imply that you need the entire perimeter covered in bumper, as every point on the perimeter is a "corner".
Yes, it depends on how you define "corner". I'm assuming you define it as a change in direction of the perimeter. If you're insisting that it has to be a "sharp" step change in direction for it to count as a corner, then any robot could be bumperless by taking a belt sander and rounding the corners of their frame.

Re: pic: Crevolution Teaser #2
it was more of a joke. I guess the real question is how you bend the wood for that.

OK, maybe not quite so easy, but that's about how I'd do it.

I wonder why you guys felt you needed to use a holonomic drive base, or how you would find it beneficial.

Re: pic: Crevolution Teaser #2
Maybe they are trying to get to the loader, as quick as they can (and make the base as light as they can) so they went with that (which i personally would stay away from) then they either shoot a ton into the goals and/or grab there colored Frisbees. then move to the pyramid and use there 6 CIMs to do a 30 point climb and the 20 pts for the frisbees into the goal the "50 point super move"
or its not there drive
or maybe there "punkin" us...

There are only 2 wheels, and the gearboxes aren't even attached to the wheels. Can people not see this is a joke?

I think you guys are selling this drivetrain short. RS550s are the CIMs of the future.

It looks like it's the next logical iteration of this lovely design. Hooray for innovation!
