Re: Lots of crossing the plane
I think part of the problem is the penalties (at least at FLR) have been if even the smallest percentage of a robot crosses back over the line. I've seen a lot of penalties where a team will just...

Re: pic: Anderson motor disconnects
With the smaller andersons, they suffer from a few easily fixed problems-
Crimping the wire into the contact may not work. I've had a few pull out, including one right before a match. I ended up...

Re: Colson Wheel
I've got models for 2x7/8, 3x7/8 and 3x1.5. I've also got a rough drawing of a 3x7/8" colson with a cncbotparts hub in it that I'd made before finding the others. If you want any of them, let me know.

Re: 2007 Davis Sacramento Regional
It's Jeffries, but no matter. I'll be out in June to take a better look at the bot and take a look at all the new stuff you guys got. Good luck at Davis!

Re: Possible 2008 Competition?

Re: Who will be doubling up?
My thoughts on that was that for not much extra cost(about $90), you can get much greater reliability by just getting two more gearboxes.
