Re: Preparing for the Town Hall Meeting on the New Championships Format

Post Re: Who still thinks pneumatic catapults won't work for this game?

842's catapult design is unique and very effective. When our team first saw this game, we knew pneumatics was our plan. Since then, we have had nothing but success with our pneumatic catapult, which...

Question Re: San Diego: Tech Foul in Finals

Re: Team 842 Testing Shots

What are the bore sizes on those cylinders? Can't tell if it's 1.5 diameter or 1 1/16. Looks identical to what we have gotten so far. Good job guys! Looks awesome!

Re: Non-sagging Bumpers Q&A Response

Our team has always used a spray on adhesive to hold the pool noodles onto the wood so that we could pull our fabric tight. Haven't had an issue with them sagging.

Re: Team 1266: The Devil Duckies Presents

We just happened to have the performance wheels lying around. We tried it with the combo and just liked it better in the end. Saved us $20 i guess too.

Re: Number of CIMs on Drivetrain

Torque is increased when adding more motors in the same way that it's easier to lift a heavy object with more than one person. When you have 2 motors i.e cims on one transmission, you are doubling...

Re: Shortening Cim Motor Axel

I can see the axle needing to be shortened if they are trying to fit it inside say a banebot or andymark planetary transmission. I don't see this as a strange question with that thought in mind.
