Re: pic: High Reduction 2-Stage Gearbox
You can accomplish the same reduction you have in two stages of 20dp gears for a similar weight. And while an extra stage adds weight, it's definitely not a whole pound's worth. Why are you using the...

Re: pic: High Reduction 2-Stage Gearbox
This is fantastic for your first DOG shifter - be proud of yourself for what you're accomplishing.
To touch on your points:
-"5.5 ft/s low, 16 ft/s high" - this is a good spread to work with. I've...

Re: pic: MVRT Off-Season Sheet-metal Chassis
Looks like they imported the STEP of the ballshifters and didn't change them, so it's likely they didn't even add mass properties, hence why Anand is asking about their weight inclusion.

Re: Max Age for FRC Participants?
What interests me is the idea of a driver who starts at an unnaturally young age (~7 years old) and drives until the FRC-legal maximum age. If that's 24, you have a driver who will end his or her...

Re: Belts 9mm or 15mm?
My 24T pulley worked great the entire season. It never failed once and I would recommend everyone use this pulley.

Re: New AndyMark Product Game Hint???
For you youngin's that weren't around in 2011, a common minibot design included a limit switch at the top to cut power to the motors as soon as the minibot impacted the plate at the top of the pole.
