Re: PCM
Pretty sure it was this year's compressor, two of the old small capacity aluminum reservoirs and a single solenoid and a 10 inch stroke cylinder. Now that you mention multiple solenoids, team 2013...

Re: Robot Size
I believe the rule is only assembled once on the field. I'm sure the intent is to not have cumbersome and potentially unsafe configurations being pushed/lifted through the field access gates.

Re: Which controler for driving mecnum?
I meant to say arcade until the stick gets to 45 degrees. I'm pretty sure our programmer just used a linear proportion to give the driver strafe "steering". As you know, sideways steering is pretty...
