New robot drive train has crazy torque but a team mentor thinks he’s stronger, will man triumph or has the rise of the robots begun.

I’m suitably impressed. The robot would have won a sumo contest.
You can hear your breakers popping in the video. I would be careful to ensure your drive is traction limited, or at least won’t draw so much current that you risk browning out your RoboRio. I fully realize in the video your mentor is applying a ton of extra force downwards, likely in excess of what your fully laden robot would experience, but it’s something to be mindful of.
Thanks for pointing that out. Ive never heard that before and my first thought was a skipping drivetrain belt
I’ve done this before.
It’s really scary when your foot slips and you don’t know if the robot is going to plow over you, or not.
And you’re not sure if the students would be happy or not.
