DEWBOT II possessed a 2-wheel drive (2wd) / rear-wheel drive Drive-train. This drive-train was generally satisfactory.

One CIM motor per side. Tank drive with Arcade control. KOP gearbox used with type 35 steel chain between drive and wheel sprockets.

Undriven front wheels were originally swivels, but were changed to onmi wheels due to unsatisfactory performance of the swivels.

Drivetrain Strengths:

  • driving / steering quite okay
  • mechanically simple - simple to control - easy to execute

Drivetrain Weaknesses:

  • DEWBOT II was easily pushed off target
  • it was very difficult to get up the ramp to score bonus points (only succeeded once).
