What size tube is that?

This gives new meaning to the box-on-wheels robot.

Dang, it's a tube-in-a-tube drive! Very creative.
Always love to see you pushing the boundaries of FRC further!

I'm assuming that that "tube" is actually a hollow extrusion itself? You could fit even more electronics inside of that then.

How are the tubes in the tube attached to the tube? Are there holes for the wheels? Where do the bumpers mount?

177 did this in 2009 and it worked very smoothly for a one speed gearbox.

It looks really similar to 971's bot but I'm pretty sure it isn't. Is that your offseason bot you posted the shooter CAD for?

It really looks like 971's bot to me, what makes you think it isnt?

I don't remember them having the metal plate on the shooter arms. Otherwise it looks really similar.

Re: pic: EVERYTHING in the tube drive!

Its 971s lol I was just joking around. The reason you prob didn't notice the plates was because there was cardboard there. Don't now the reason for that though im just a guy who took their bot and put it in a box.
