For FRC 2010, we built four custom gearboxes using timing belts. It was a pod with two wheels driven by a CIM motor to get a crazy amount of torque to get over the humps in the middle of the field. At any time, whether on flat ground or when tackling the humps, we would always have four wheels touching the surface. The most forward and rearward wheels would only touch the inclined . We couldn't go through the tunnels because our endgame mechanic was a big hook on top that would pivot out, latch onto a vertical pole, and pivot the bot sideways using a winch. It made for an amazing photo since few teams at that first regional event were even attempting the endgame.
