Robot is built with KISS in mind and to be completely reliable. We wanted a robust simple design that has a minimum of failure modes.
Yes it does have 12 wheels (we tested it and more seemed better to us).
Completely student designed, machined, built, and programmed.
All video was taken during real practice time and not setup takes.
Great job guys! You have been the most highly anticipated Rookie Team in the NJ area for many years now. Getting to meet and talk with some of your members at BE was really cool and left me with the impression that this is a team that has everything together and will be a strong team right from the get go. I can’t wait to compete with you guys next week.

The belting is made of what is called a rug runner (basically spikey stuff that holds stuff down to carpets). Since we took the video the GDC released a ruling on its legality. So we had to change the belting, still works just as well though.
It was a great pleasure to meet some of your parents in the stands at Brunswick Eruption earlier this year and to watch your team interactions and performance on the field. You guys have a great attitude. Your smiles were huge.
It was a little weird not having you guys around at the NJ FTC event to cycle power on your robot but I can see you still spent your time wisely. Great looking machine Overdrive! See you all around.
