Re: Inter-District Play in 2017
Many districts seem to be taking the wait list approach to all inter-district play. Good chance we won't know any meaningful data on it until later.

Re: Strange Swerve 4.0 Triple Strange 1533
And the VersaPlanetaries v2 arrived just in time to swap out all the burned out 775 Pros! ;)
Kidding aside, I'll be intrigued to see how the 775s hold up should this make it to the competition...

Re: VEXpro 2017
Any dates as to when the VexPro line-up will be fully restocked? Particularly looking at the WCP gearboxes.

Re: VEXpro 2017
Do you anticipate getting any dual-motor input adapters into stock for the v2 prior to the start of build season?

Re: Team 5550 - Fall Project
Back in FIRST antiquity the early/mid 2000s, you did see more holonomic drives than mecanums. Prior to the 2007 season, there weren't really any COTS options for mecanum wheels, so the few teams that...

Re: Team 5550 - Fall Project
I challenge you to show me the math (or at least the reasoning) to why you believe Mecanum drives to be more efficient than Omni drives.
Hint: Consider both drives moving not only in "straight"...

Re: pic: CGX-108 front
Also bumping this thread because I still love this design.
There are ways to work around backdriving, but backlash is a much nastier problem to extinguish from high-reduction precision systems....

Re: pic: Swerve Render
Are you concerned about thrust loads generated from the bevel gears at all? I can't tell what bearings you're using on your drive shaft. Especially with the draft shaft being a nut/bolt combo, it...

Re: Custom Gearbox Without Automated Machining?
Is it possible? Yes, especially if you have a machinist that understands backlash in the handwheels and a mill that's been taken care of.
Is it the best use of your resources? Color me skeptical....

Re: Drivetrain Sprocket
One wheel on each side would presumably still be powered directly off the gearbox shaft, so that wheel would still need to be live axle. The others could potentially be switched to dead axle.

Re: Drivetrain Sprocket
The same side of the tube as the wheels.
I understand what you and Chris are saying. I'm just saying that if a team had some legitimate need to use sprockets with a larger diameter than the width...
