Re: 1.1 CFM Air Compressors?

Re: 2016 MAR Season
We're thinking the same thing, Ben. We might need to tighten our error angle when we're > 11ft out. That said, we were pleased with our performance when our machine was functioning. We thankfully...

Re: Team Update 14 (2016)
What frustrates me the MOST about this update is the change of the size of the vision target. Why was this necessary?
(Time to adjust target and change our auto-targeting code).

Re: #25 Chain
Thanks for this thread. It's very enlightening.
Does anyone have a reliable source for #25HD chain? It's a bit harder to find, from my cursory looks (the vendors we use don't sell it).

Re: Team Math
take any three-digit team number with unique first and last numbers (254).
reverse, subtract smallest from largest
452 - 254 = 198
Reverse that and add it to itself
198 + 891 = 1089!

My students keep some of the wireties from the motor/sensor cables -- string one under the pin and pull up.
If it's a pin in a motor, or in the robot brain, yes. pushing through a 1x or 2x piece...

Re: 2016 Football Game
being that superbowl 50 is next year, I wouldn't be surprised.
Come on now, don't tell me I'm the only one that predicted that this year's game would be football, named "FIRST Down"!
