Re: pic: Compressor Fan Mount
I could see the reasoning why that wouldn't be kosher.
You are removing the three screws that hold the head onto the cylinder. If you don't re tighten the screws enough (secure them to a likely...

Re: 2015 Beta Testing - The Components are Here.
Given both the pneumatic module and the power distribution board are connected to the RoboRIO via CAN, there is a possibility that these devices are monitoring the current to prevent fuse blowouts...

Re: T-Shirt Launcher-Scuba Tank
I just want to further emphasize being very careful around the tank. An 80 cubic foot (10.2 liter) tank at 3000psi has an extreme amount of energy (online figures suggest about as much as a half...

Re: VEXPro 2014: After The Season
Yeah, I was gonna suggest they make one out of 4340 or tool steel, something that is easy to harden heavily. Makes me think of the plates we were making to hold back the gas shocks last year, I think...

Re: VEXPro 2014: After The Season
Neutrino remade the shaft in mild steel as well as in stainless (I think 300 series). Both still had significant wear from the balls.
We are thinking of making a hardened tool steel shaft for off...

Is it just me or have there been a lot of connection issues at this regional? I've seen a lot of robots stopping suddenly in the middle of matches and coming back a time later.
I'm not sure if this...

Is it the lack of reports on...

Re: exploding plastic storage tanks
I would tend to agree that the Pneuaire tanks were used more extensively by experienced teams which extensively researched alternative lighter options to the conventional metal tanks.
If I had to...

Re: exploding plastic storage tanks
While Pneuaire and AndyMark look eerily similar, Pneuaire does not sell a 36 cubic inch tank on their website.
Additionally, somehow the Andymark tank is physically larger (Diameter 2.7" vs ~2.5"...

Likely a PSA of some sort would be needed, or harsher restrictions in order to prevent future problems. Unfortunately, these tanks are probably perfectly adequate in the other environments where they...
