Designed to compliment an efficiency bot Fred VI is built for descoring, huge last second deposits and extreme pushing power. These functions are optimized with its 8 motor drive which features a 2 speed transmission.
Features:
• 2 motor descoring roller (popped up with pneumatics)
• Piston activated rubber band powered lift
• 8 motor drive with 2 speed transmission (1:1.34 for fast speed and 1:0.68 for slow speed)
• High goal descoring
• 30+ sack capacity
• Basket designed for easy loading by partner

Sorry guys I’m not sure how much the Leland wants me to reveal. Leland just asked me to post those pics and specs. He is on the plane right now haha I’m sure he will be happy to show and answer questions about it in person this week.
The gears are shifted using one double acting piston. He had to do some interesting stuff to make everything strong enough to handle all of the power from the 8 motors, and shift smoothly. I don’t have any good pics of the transmission or any videos at the moment. Sorry I am not of more help. Definitely go check it out at the pits.
I would love to but unfortunately I won’t be at the championship this year. But I will ask some of the members of 675B who will be there to check it out.
One of the members on my old team was building a robot that had the exact same concept but he did not have enough time to get it perfected. Im sure you guys will do great at worlds. Cant wait to see you there.
We also had a design before Worlds that featured a 30+ sack elastic lift. The extra 4 motors were for other things though… we didn’t finish that robot.
