Re: Team 935 Electronics
Nice. Very organized, I like how you hide all the wires.
No spikes? I assmued there was at least one cylinder on that manipulator you guys have. |
Re: Team 935 Electronics
dang, 2 maxy blocks?
|
Re: Team 935 Electronics
That second Maxi block needs to be directly connected to the Rockwell PDB. (See the sixth bullet on <R50>)
Apart from that, it looks great. |
Re: Team 935 Electronics
very nice organization.....wish we could afford garolite.

We aren't using spikes. We are using a motor and soon to be motors to lift our elevator. The van door motor doesn't have enough torque to lift our mechanism and the ball so we are going to try 2 van door motors and see if that works. |

Re: Team 935 Electronics
The ATC fuse panel should also be directly connected to the PDB. In this photo, it looks like it is connected to one of the two Maxi blocks. Furthermore, are you using red wire for that? It's hard to tell, but it looks black in the picture.
Besides these little nit-picks, very nice board. It looks really neat, no rat's nest of cables. |

Re: Team 935 Electronics
Also you can only use 1 van door motor. Maybe you are talking about the window motors.

<R59> Additional motors specifically permitted on 2008 FRC ROBOTS include: All motors, actuators, and servos provided in the 2008 Kit Of Parts, HITEC HS-322HD servos, FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) servos (Innovation First part number 276-2162), FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) motors (Innovation First part number 276-2163), One or two additional 2-1/2” CIM motors (part #FR801-001 and/or M4-R0062-12 in addition to those provided in the Kit Of Parts. This means that up to four, and no more, 2-1/2” CIM motors can be used on the ROBOT. This is the only rule I could find and it says that you can buy additional motors as long as they are the same as what's in the kit of parts. |

<R59> should not have used the first word "Additional" as it misleads people. "Additional" should have been only in the CIM bullet point. The first bullet point says you can use motors found in the KoP. It does not say that you can use extra copies of those motors. One van door motor was given in the kit; one may be used. |
Re: Team 935 Electronics
Wow, your right I must be as blind as a bat. I skipped right over that rule. Thanks for your help. Looks like we're stuck using 2 FP motors. Has anyone had any experience with them. Do they have sufficient torque and are they robust enough? Any suggestions?
