Re: pic: Night & Day
I have to say, I'm not too thrilled about having to pack these suckers into our robot... In the past, electronics have already been a squeeze. We shall see, though.
On the plus side, it seems like it will be slightly harder for us to drop shavings and chips onto the H bridge, and fry them! This is good, because high school students seem to have an impressive ability to fry any electronic system you put in front of them... |

Jaguars and Victos weigh approximately the same. I know from holding them and comparing; there is no noticable difference unless you put it on a very accurate scale.

Re: pic: Night & Day
I simply cannot get over the size difference. I'm really not a complainer, but having controls aspects adding more weight, and taking up more space, on the robot is not exactly something I am looking forward to. I guess we'll just need to not put as much mechanical stuff on inorder to make weight and size.

It depends on the limits this year. I'm sure they'll take the new system into consideration when making the rules this season.

I suppose they could add to the length though. |

Oh, my bad. I misread the post. I thought he meant weight limits.
Well, as stated above, plan on cleaning up your electronics nicely this year, and you should be fine. |

The size of the jaguar is a very real concern for us, regardless of how much better it's performance may or may not be. |

I imagine we'll see more 3-D layouts for electronics this year. The first layout we'll probably try is an upside-down "T", with the Jaguars on the vertical part.

Re: pic: Night & Day
I got our kit today, and i saw the pro and the con of the jaguar
Pro: good performance, SURPRISINGLY LIGHT WEIGHT!!! Con: looks even bigger in person (at least i think) |
Re: pic: Night & Day
Can someone actually weigh the two and post?
A .1lb difference may not be noticeable by holding them, but could easily be an entire pound on the robot. |
