HOLY COW!!!
That… I can’t… Its so… wow. 6 motors gearbox. Correct me if I’m wrong, but is that a FIRST record?
It looks awesome, great job guys.
I must say though, robots this year are looking a lot like they did for Triple Play. I think that is my only real gripe with Rack n Roll, it seems like its just Triple Play v2.0…
Anyways, that thing is a beast, and I can’t wait to see it at the championship.

Prolly the coolest drive i have ever seen… how much power do you get out of it?
That is crazy…
I think you guys have a really good chance at champs if that manipulator works well… Your drive train is definitely something to be feared at least…
Sick!
That thing is just crazy awesome! I can’t wait to see it in action!
Zoheb, you’re ostensibly ON 118. What’s up with the exclamation about the beauty of the robot?
At any rate, 4 CIMS + 2 FP = about 1400W peak power, except the battery couldn’t source that much current. If I were running that design, I’d be more than a little concerned about the ability of that dewalt tranny to handle that much torque. But then again, I’ve just never been for a single point of failure disabling my entire drivetrain.
wow.
I have seen that idea being kicked around for years, putting the 4 CIMS and 2 Fischers in one power house and drive from there… but not on a swerve drive:yikes: !!!
Amazing job, good luck this year:)
game over!
Very impressive! It appears that you guys have built the optimal design! Swerve drive + 3 speeds + turret mounted arm. What’s even more impressive is that you guys have finished with plenty of time left to test and become pros at driving. Good work!
that is awesome!!!
thats a beast, and i would be scared just from the sound it has. lol. Great job, that V6 looks killer.
Wow,
That looks like quite the marvel of engineering, i can’t wait to check it out at the Houston Regional.
Best of luck finishing it up, and at your competitions.

So…you’re driving all 4 wheels off of one point, AND its crab?? Amazing!! Please make it to the Championship so I can see this thing with my own two eyes.
Are you able to rotate the wheels (in pairs at least) independently to skid steer like a tank drive?
Wow, Impressive. That video was VERY well edited! :rolleyes:
Looks fairly short, are you going 4 ft 120 pounds?
Ohhhhh myyyyyy gooooddd…
You Texas boys and your fancy swerve drive. Why don’t ya’ll come up here to New England? I’m about to saddle me up a skid steer and herd ya’ll fellers into a corner.
But in all seriousness, this thing is BEASTLY. 3 weeks practice cant hurt either…
I expect no less than a regional win out of this machine. Great Job!
By the looks of it, they’ll hold their own. Spinning wedge top is spinning wedgetop… especially while pointing all 4 wheels in the same direction.
The wow is dying for me, and now I’m just hella curious how this setup works.
