865 Warp7 Code Release
Our code has been public for a while now but I figured I would post it here since there is some pretty neat stuff if you use python.

It keeps track of how much filament is extruded and writes that amount to a chip mounted on the filament. Once the printer uses a certain amount of filament it will say its empty even if filament is...

We we're using blue nitrile roughtop(usually considered the most wear resistant) but my point is that tread that could of last a whole season in 2012, 2011,2010 etc may last a couple of matches in...

Give the colsons a chance. The traction is suprisgnly good.
We had a similar experience with plaction as others did with W tread in 2014. The year was a bit of an outlier in terms of tread wear.

That's not hard. The weight of the shaft alone will probably be enough to overcome the friction of the cylinder. Anyway Ari423's reasoning for not powering the downstroke was not due to friction but...

Re: New AndyMark products 2016

Re: SD540 Motor Controller
Are you trying to say that the SD540 looks at an average voltage reading rather than a instantaneous reading so current spikes would not cause it to brown out? Thus making a low voltage cut off to...

Re: New AndyMark products 2016
We ran Blue Nitrile on 865 in 2014 on a highly defensive 6wd robot because we heard how durable it was. On average the middle wheel would last 2-3 matches before it became a slick. Our outer wheels...

Re: VEXpro 2016
Could you make a totally non scientific video bashing the new plastic extrusion with a hammer? I'm a huge fan of plastics but convincing others will be difficult.

Well, I know that I could crash the robot into a large object with even greater precision... but if you mean what could the kids do with it... yeah, they'd probably accomplish something creative and useful! - dtengineering [more]
