Shavings are NOT a digital sidecar's best friend

This is an unfortunately familiar sight...3 fried digital sidecars in 1 regional.

You gotta stop doing that, but I see what you meant when you said that this one was really burnt.

I haven't seen one as badly burnt throughout my experiences.

Have you tried keeping metal shavings out of the digital sidecar to see if it improves performance and reliability?

Think of all the weight you would save not storing your metal shavings in you sidecar. Your robot would go faster with the lighter weight.:rolleyes:

At least you wont need it for competition next year. ;)

And if the sidecar doesn't burn out, one component won't work so you search the robot for the problem only for it to be one little piece between two pins.

And this is why we have to keep mechanical away from the robot!

This digital sidecar will continue to be our metal shaving storage box.

Consider mounting all your electronics upside down or sideways to prevent collection.

We always kept a thin blanket and a vacuum around the shop and the pits to cover our electronics and then use the vacuum near the drill to collect all of the shavings to prevent this kind of thing.

I say we should have no electronics! we will innovate a way to do so!

Great idea, instead of motors and cylinders we could use rookies, and to control them you just scream instead of needing a computer and a radio.

I say we call this new concept "football".

Almost as bad as sand in the gearboxes. These are thing things I cry about at night by the way.

I know, hydraulic logic ! Then we just have to sweat high-viscosity fluids in a maze of twisty little passages.

I mean I can see the electrical to be frying a lot next year because, well we all know, water game...

This is the only ethical way to replace motors. If you use, let's say, a hamster in a hamster wheel, that's just wrong. Abusing animals = bad. Animals are adorable.

Would be the cutest game ever!

So this would be like a lot of the "coaching" going on behind the driver stations :yikes:

How do you get sand in a gearbox?
I don't know about you but we tend to place our random piles of sand outside of the metal shop.

The same as putting gears in the sandbox I think?

At one district event my team got a metal shaving in ours and we couldn't figure out why nothing was working... Luckily it didn't get fried

Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
 
We have done that twice now. Now we cover all the electronics, or even remove them, when ever we are cutting metal on our robot.
