Design Details
The links below will take you to details about the robot components.
Drive Train
- A 2wd / rear wheel drive drive-train with unpowered omni wheels up front. Steering / driving was quite good, but the robot was easy to push around, especially from the front-side.
- It was almost impossible to climb the ramp at the match end to score bonus points. Center-of-mass was too high and far aft to allow DEWBOT II to climb the ramp forward (it would end up on its back). Drive wheels, however, would unweight and lose traction trying to run up backwards. It was possible to get up backwards with a good running start, but this was in large part a controlled crash.
