Any thoughts?

Looking good.

Is that Alex's voiceover in the first video, telling you not to do something stupid?

A "been in FIRST too long" moment, if you can ID the voice behind the camera.

Looks good guys nice work on the crab.

Planning on doing anything with the orbit balls? :p

Hope to see you guys in competition.

Looks like a fun drive train.

Are you going to support the drive modules anymore than that? They don't look like they'd be able to withstand a large side load. (Pushed Sideways on Carpet edge)

That sure does sound a lot like Alex.

Looks pretty cool, have to see how well that will work in competition this year with the trailer attached

yeah, hopefully something a bit more sophisticated than just bulldozing the balls around >_<

yeah there will be more supporting it, if im not mistaken we were are flipping whats on top and what is on bottom, so the electrical board will be on the bottom and there are slots for the Crab drive in the Frame the electrical board is on.

Ahh... That makes much more sense. It just looked as if you were just going to leave them as they were but that additional framing should protect them some.

Looks like you have a FP motor into the AndyMark planetary on at least 1 crab module. What made you guys decide to use FPs for your drive??

They prolly need a CIM for the ball launching/collection mechanism.. that'd be my guess.

Re: 830 teaser #1
 
I was more asking why they used a FP in the drive train because of power issues. I understand that we are in a different world this year with the wheels and the floor but i still wouldn't use a FP as my main power for a drive train.
