5278C is proud to present our very first CI7D. [5278C CI7D Reveal] We are based in Brookwood High School in Georgia, USA. Happy to answer any questions you may have! The hoarder isn’t modeled yet, but it’ll basically just be some standoff railing on the side of the bot.

great CAD! I wonder if x drives will be meta…

Thank you! We decided on an X drive because of the versatility it provides. With very few balls on the field, we want to be able to quickly maneuver to get them.

I hope so. That is what we are thinking of building…

Same, I’m also looking to run an X Drive, because you can move in any direction and you also get extra speed without needing gear ratios

Building it is my only issue right now. I hate cad and cad seems to hate me back

There is this alternative to traditional CADding that is coming out soon. Maybe you can sign up for the beta and give it a go? [image] The Vex Virtual Builder - A New Way to Prototype VEX Robots Technical Discussion Hi! My name is Dave Gershman and I’m happy to announce t…

I asked him but he says it is not official yet but when it is I shall be the first to use it. [insert evil laugh here]:wink:

I never experimented much with X drives, how are X drives faster than normal tank drives? and is it by a lot?

They are sqrt(2) ~= 1.41 times faster and have 1.41 times less pushing force, compared to the regular drive. Total power of the motors do not change, but you get different effective gearing ratio by having wheels at 45 deg angle.

Could you explain to me how you calculated this?
