Despite the infancy of this season, our team has made many iterations to the robot.

Below we will discuss some of our highlights and what we learned in each stage:

CAD

a drive technique we termed "UFO" drive, our team sought to manuver our robot around the field from a single Coaxial wheel in the center with 2 guiding wheels around it. In theory we would now be able to drive in a constant direction while spinning the frame. However, we experienced difficulty with the gears turning our inner coaxial unit binding and slipping as the wheel rotated.
