Re: Easy Bumper Switching?
In the past my team has used C channel with pins, as it sounds like most people have done. This year we tried to do the same thing but we didn't make our robot out of C channel (first in team history...

Re: SRX Encoder Breakout Options
+1
I've never used the US Digital encoders but we just ordered and installed some SRX Mag Encoders on a new drivetrain, and so far we like them. They weren't too hard to install, but the downside is...

Re: Best Season Recaps/ Reveal videos
Although I do not have the links, RoboWrangler's (148) recap videos are very good also, they remind me of Citrus' (1678)
EDIT: Thank you Nicus for linking that, I was replying on my phone originally.

Re: Securing the Jetson TX1
By any chance do you have a picture of the final product? I believe I have only seen the render online, not the actual product.

Securing the Jetson TX1
My team just got (have not received yet though) a Jetson TX1 from First Choice and I'm trying to figure out a case design to protect it. What types of cases have people made for theirs? or even their...

Re: Building a second robot - electronics?
My team has never had 2 robots (comp. and practice) that look 100% alike, but they have the same manipulators on them to practice code. Because of not being the most funded team, we pretty much only...

Re: Less Than A Month Left!!!!
My team was thinking the same thing, it wouldn't be surprising if it was. There were some things in the video that made us think that, and when our former Coach (who is also a football coach) saw...

Re: drilling larger holes in aluminum
I'm not sure if it is necessary, but it does make it easier in my opinion. Just a hole so when you start drilling, it doesn't move around.
And a step bit has multiple layers usually, so after you...

Re: drilling larger holes in aluminum
My team actually uses a hand drill since most holes are applied after the robot is assembled. We created a block to clamp onto the side of the tube, giving a perfect located hole. I can't remember...

TK1 vs TX1
I have been looking around and I haven't found any good comparison between the two. I know the TX1 is more powerful, but I'm assuming it draws more current and it is bigger. If price isn't an issue,...

Re: Custom Gearbox is very loud
