Re: Weird Gearbox Sound
39%, at what load?
As batteries age, they may appear to still be good (have a high voltage) but under high load they drop voltage very quickly.
If you're using the CTRE Battery Beak, use the % or...

Re: Weird Gearbox Sound
I bet it's a dead battery.
When it stuttered and the orange RSL light flashed (not the normal flash, flashing with the stuttering motors), that led me to think it's the battery.
You should be able...

Re: What COTS parts would you like to see?
In line with the metal CIM versa adapter, it would be great to have a metal dual-motor input for the versaplanetary too. With the new 775 pro, way too much power can be run through the plastic...

Re: Magnetic Solenoid
I don't see why you couldn't limit the stroke to one inch (per 2016 rules), as long as it was accomplished without modifying the solenoid itself.

Re: Looking for a hassle-free 3D printer
I just want to point out that Stratasys owns Makerbot now. Makerbot also started out as a completely open-source company, and now are not nearly so much. Also some weird stuff with Thingiverse (their...

Re: Looking for a hassle-free 3D printer
At the risk of sounding like a company rep (I'm not in any way), I have to say that our Lulzbot Mini is amazing. I attend a separate school from my FRC team, and there aren't many people with much...

Re: Best CAM software
I've been using Fusion 360 to generate gcode for our Shapeoko. I like it, but I also haven't used anything else.

If I were going up against them, I would just setup my robot behind them and steal the ball off the midline.

Here's a bad picture, but it's the best I could find.
