Re: NeveRest 60 in FRC
I'm in total agreement.
The point of my post was to alleviate some of the headaches for a team that chooses to use them. The biggest advantage I can see (the integrated encoder) also disappears...

Re: NeveRest 60 in FRC
We've been doing FTC for three years and I think we've seen every possible failure these motors can have. Less common failures I've seen are magic smoke (only once and it was totally our fault), and...

Re: Official Inter-District Interest
Part of the problem is that very few events have open slots by the time district teams are given "open season" to travel. Between the school district needing a certain amount of time as notice,...

Re: Landmark Based Outdoor Robot Localization
Hi mreda,
If I understand correctly, you're trying to find your location based off other reference-points with known locations. This is the way GPS technology works. Using the known location of...

Re: Palmetto Regional Week 0.5
This would be my guess too. It's the most frequent failure we saw on the wood version.
The difference in build quality between A/C and B/D/low is pretty apparent. Did anybody else see the team bend...

Re: Trouble passing under the low bar
I've found that just googling what you need on the new website gets you there in fewer clicks than navigating it.

Re: Andymark rhino drivetrain discussion
Not comparable. Treads coming off a tread drive (ANY tread drive) from base to base interaction is a chassis that cannot withstand the rigors of FRC. Poking holes in pneumatic wheels is damaging and...

Re: 8" Non-Pneumatic Wheels
Agreed!

In 2012 you could not get the ranking point without working together. This year your ranking point is independent of your opponent.

You can also theoretically use the new FIRST website to find it but my saved links for that broke when they changed the URL.

Re: 2x1x1/16 Belt-In-Tube
Very cool COTS solution!
I'd like to echo this. I've been on teams that ran belt for years with exactly zero failures until we moved to 9mm. I can't imagine doing 9mm again with the 24T...
