Re: WCP: 2017 Product Launch + MCC 2017

Re: Spark Motor Controller vs. Victor SP
Agreed.
We are moving to the Talon SRX this year (ordered 20+ of them), but both the Victor and Talon are awesome WRT size. It allowed us to package a lot of electronics in an extremely small size...

Re: FRC pocketing

Re: pic: 3946 Gonfalon, V2
Are the logos intentionally grouped tightly together?
For many (most) logos, I recommend people search for that companies identity or brand standards/guidelines. Lots of good info about logo...

Re: pic: ABS-110, lightweight 2-speed PTO gearbox
Yes, it is. It is worth considering. We got away with it in 2010, but it was a little sketchy. Sometimes it wouldn't shift. We ended up having to shift to the other gear before shifting back to...

Re: pic: ABS-110, lightweight 2-speed PTO gearbox
This is correct. In 2010 we disengaged and in 2013 we did not. In 2013 the drive wheels were already off the ground so we had no need for the three position cylinder. When we were hanging, the...

Re: GameSense at Chezy Champs 2015
Recordings will be uploaded at 1080p/60 at ~20mbps. Live streaming at 1080p/60 is very bandwidth intensive and most users cannot take advantage of it.

Re: Tapped Holes vs Bolt an Nut

Re: Tapped Holes vs Bolt an Nut
If you are trying to duplicate what we did on 254, I would heed Adam's advice and simplify things greatly. We make a lot of complicated parts seem easy because we do some unique 3D milling and...

Re: Team 254 Presents: 2015 FRC Code
We only used surgical tubing in 2014, as it gripped the ball better than the urethane and was way cheaper and came in thinner wall thicknesses. There is no rule for how much larger we go on tubing...

Re: RIP Banebot RS550
This. The performance of the RS550 never matches its data sheet. We stopped using the RS550 in the middle of 2014 when we had numerous 550s fry in our shooter (not really due to the lacking power)....
