 This is just one example of why you MUST NOT make engineering decisions based on assumptions. You should check/measure your parts and make appropriate design adjustments. - Stu Bloom [more] |

2815 (and thus 1398) 2010: The Business End
A better look at our kicker, ball magnet, and drive system from the 2815/1398 collaboration.
The kicker was powered by a CIM motor through an AndyMark GEM gearbox, with a cam to $@#$@#$@#$@# it back. The surgical tubing required to get a good kick was a little much for the structural integrity of the robots; neither team's kicker survived the season.
The drive system was easily the craziest of either team's before or since, a six-motor, two-speed, plaction-wheeled beast that ensured both had all the defensive chops one needed.
Still, with 1398 winning Palmetto that year with 343 and 1261, we must've done something right!
