Team 1640's 2010 BREAKAWAY robot, DEWBOT VI is equipped with a a novel, award-winning multi-mode, 4-wheel independent pivot drive-train. Kit-of-Parts Nisso-Denko (Window) Motors were selected as steering motors for the four (4) pivots. These steering motors are driven by tan Jaguar motor controllers.

1640 has experienced on-going, intermittant lock-up of the steering motors during practice and competition.
