It's about time 1625 and 1675 just started pairing up in the finals by default. The 16*5 alliance...

I'm pretty sure that's the motor that killed our run at Wisconsin last year when it decided to fry and be too difficult to change in a hurry.

Yea, this year we had the compressed air coolant Velcro'd to the Robot Cart encase of a repeat.


The problem was only having the one transmission and having to swap that out within the Time out.

1625, do my eyes deceive me, or did you abandon your crab drive modules for this year??? :eek:
Why, if I may ask?

Congrats on the win everyone!

Yeh, that one. Banebot + fischer price + huge game piece = magic smoke. Either way it was a blast. Thanks again for picking us [both times]

just didnt fit the strategy, that nice wide glorious pickup wouldn't be there if we had swerve modules. Plus if we wanna "strafe" all thats needed is a running start.
This was also the first year we've held ourselves to KISS, and it worked.
My favorite part is, this robots concept was decided at the end of day 2 of build season, and at the end of week one we had 2 welded chassis's ready to roll.


And as far as the banebots, we've almost never had issues with the transmissions, (only used the 42mm variety) just the motors have been shotty IMO, that RS550 last year is the reason we went to colorado
