Simbot SideSwipe - Kiwi Drive Prototype - Day 8

This was a three wheeled holonomic "kiwi drive" prototype, manufactured during the second weekend of build season. Our team had never built a holonomic drivetrain before, as such a proof-of-concept was needed to test maneuverability, as well as the ability to traverse the scoring platforms. After testing was complete and we went forward with our design, this prototype was used by the programming subteam to perfect the control algorithms used on Simbot SideSwipe.
