  • Despite all the criticism from other teams that physics says we would have no traction was WRONG!!!

    The drive train of this robot had PUSHING POWER over any robot at the kc regional. By far the drive train on our robot was the best feature of it, our primary strategy was to pin robots and let our human players score and our alliance mates robot score. We had no problems with this design once completed.

    In the end this design did exactly what we planned it to do(To Push)while being efficient

  • thats a really neat idea. I wish my team thought of doing that this year

  • YOU ARE RETARDED!!!! more surface area does not mean more traction!!! unless you are also changing the weight.

  • less efficient*

  • cool idea! but take note that the more the gear transmission change, the less inefficient, the more the room for error (esp wif chain)

  • That's a first order approximation. In real life surface area matters.

  • Who cares about what physics says, try it in real life. There is more at play here then just surface area.

    By the way the suspension is killer awesome. (wants one)

  • 16 wheel does nothing, you will find that you will get pushed around by every 4 wheel bot !

  • you get more surface area but that doesnt mean more traction becuase now there is less weight on each individual wheel therefore each wheel has less friction compared to a wheel of a robot with four wheels.

  • you get more surface area, which means more traction
