Re: Bearing Blocks/Chain Tensioning

If the chain isn't skipping over the sprocket when you apply load to it, then the tensioner is doing its job.

Re: Bearing Blocks/Chain Tensioning

Don't worry too much about getting the exact center-to-center distance correct. The chain will stretch over time anyways, so you will need active tensioning (what I mean is something you can adjust...

Re: One or Two Drivers??

I would say a single skilled driver capable of controlling the entire robot will always be quicker and more reliable than two half-skilled drivers. There are basically two ways to accomplish this:...

Unhappy Re: A(nother) Sad Day For FIRST

If this is true, that's truly a shame.

My rookie year, 2014, I remember seeing their bot compete at the Chesapeake Regional and being pretty blown away as a freshman. When we could barely put a...

Re: Legality of a Strategy/Bot Concept

I think bumper rules prevented you from building a bot with a single side of length less than 8". Still allows you to build a 52" bot plus the 15" extension. Perhaps you could have another 15"...

Hello,

I'm doing some conceptual CAD of our robot and have found Inventor's contact solver pretty useful for simulating interaction between mechanisms and game-pieces. The one problem with this is...

Re: Possible to extend output shaft on WCP Gearbox?

Re: Possible to extend output shaft on WCP Gearbox?
