Re: pic: Stripped VexPro gear
That would certainly do the trick. Makes me glad we traction-limited the low-gear on our drive system. :rolleyes:
That said though, of the 100+ VEX aluminum gears we've used on our competition...

Re: pic: Stripped VexPro gear
I'm curious about the circumstances that caused this; I'm having a hard time visualizing how getting stuck in the low bar could cause this kind of damage to a gearbox. Any more details you can share?

Re: Is Stronghold the roughest game yet?
When it comes to field-to-robot damage, I would agree that this year is probably one of the most rough I've seen. In terms of robot-to-robot damage though, I would actually call this years game...

Re: Driver Station/Operator Console Power
This. If there is some rule we all missed about the driver station power, it's not being enforced anywhere I'm aware of.
IMO, the biggest thing to be mindful of is how many amps you're pulling, so...

Re: Event A/V Wishlist
The problem with this is copyright. A mic that pics up the crowd will inevitably pick up the music, which will result in streams or archives getting muted or taken down. In my experience streaming...

Re: CIM to 3/8" Coupling?
If you have access to a 1/2" hex broach, it might be better to just drill and broach the bevel gear and use a standard CIM to hex adapter. Just a thought.

Re: Experience promoting districts in Minnesota
If I recall correctly, our budget accounts for overtime for like 1 or 2 of the schools janitorial staff for the event, and a few hours of time from a certified electrician (makes sure all the wiring...

Re: Experience promoting districts in Minnesota
Nope, typically events run at high schools in Michigan have 2 gymnasiums, the main gym is used for the field, the auxilary gym for the pits (though there are exceptions to this, as some schools use...

Re: Experience promoting districts in Minnesota
A few notes on this:
First, I'm not sure how other Districts run, but in Michigan most events are run out high schools and, as far as I am aware, have no "rental cost" to FiM or the event planing...

While I agree that having the 12 matches is great for getting better ranking results, one important thing to keep in mind is that playing 12 matches played over ~1.5 days with 40 teams is usually a...

Re: What is supplied in the pits!
It's worth noting that at every event (that I know of anyways) there is nothing stopping a team from removing the provided table and using their own instead. If the size of the table is that critical...
