Re: WCP: 2017 Product Launch + MCC 2017

I don't think anyone is recommending the 3mm GT2 for primary drive train loads (they are however final for initial reduction in drives).

We've used them a good deal on intakes, shooters, initial...

Re: New AndyMark Product Game Hint???

As of right now the site still shows 9001 RPM.

What is pretty thoroughly? 1000 shots? 10000?

I know some of the teams running the fairlane teardrop wheels in 2013 replaced them a few times over the...

Re: New AndyMark Product Game Hint???

That number seems DANGEROUSLY high to tell general case to team's at large.

With compression and a high number of shots, I'd be very concerned running at that number.

Re: New AndyMark Product Game Hint???

At a certain point you'll have to spend some money with some game objects.

Colsons worked for us in 2016, but in many other years didn't work nearly as well as more expensive options.

Re: [FRC Blog] FIRST Championship District Allocations

Other than getting rid of two champs, or moving the locations to make them more geographically balanced... what's the solution here?

If FIRST gave districts equal representation divided among both...

Re: New AndyMark Product Game Hint???

Hey meme king Wil Payne can you edit the word "trap" to "hint"?

Thanks!

Yes and no, they do appear to be waterjet out of sheet... and the material isn't that cheap. For low qty production the price seems about right.

Re: Senior Design Projects

Vex dyno tested all the standard FRC motors and enough data is there to determine this fairly easily.

Re: paper: 4 CIM versus 6 CIM theoretical calculations

This wouldn't cause any issues, you'd just be pumping some current back to the DC bus and everything would be fine.

Another team fire...

Two nights ago a fire was intentionally set (a real bummer) at our neighboring Vex Team's school and it took out everything they own, plus two other classrooms worth of equipment.

Re: Velocity PID(F) Best Practices - To Integrate, or Not To Integrate?

In the practical sense most teams are just looking for consistent RPM within a tight band near the setpoint.

Re: Recommendations for Restoring Router

What controller are you planning on running w/ Linux CNC?

Re: Recommendations for Restoring Router

There is some markup from distributors, but the $387 price here is ballpark.

What is the power rating on the servos?

It might be more cost effective (and definitely easier), to use Teknic "stepper killer" motors (400W is their largest). These are a servo and drive integrated...

Re: How to Make Standoffs Shiny in 5 Seconds or Less

This is fairly common to break the edge.

The one on the far right is a more typical size, the 2nd one is a rather large chamfer.

Re: 1.1 Pump (am-3227) Really an improvement?

What would be very helpful is if AndyMark tests the fill time for both and posts that information for a given volume.

Re: pic: 3 wheel omni drive concept

There isn't enough of a lever arm to a CG below the axles (even w/ 8" wheels) to keep the robot stable when accelerating.

It also just isn't nearly as cool.

Re: VEXpro 2017

Are there any other new products this year?
