Re: AndyMark Mecanum Wheel tests
Mr. Baker,
I would suggest a shock load test, much like the robot going over the bumps this year. This is were we incurred most of the damage to our AM Mecanums this year.
Thank you for...

Re: Vision Target Backing
Sorry for the bump, but I noticed that the same backing that was on at GKC was also present at the Wisconson Regional. Is there a way to communicate will field set up crews to take this backing off?

Re: Vision Target Backing
