Re: The Robonauts 118 - 2013 Video
How is it driving up the pole? It looks like two wheels slightly pointed toward each other, with a notch to go over the crossbars, but I couldn't tell.

Re: pic: BaneBots v1 Grearbox
If they reproduce motors during the match, do we get penalized for more than the alloted number of motors on our brobot?

Re: FRC Blogged - Two Feet of Snow?
Never heard of Minnesota closing roads for snow, at least not near the cities where my team is. Last year, we had about 2 ft of snow on Sunday and we dutifully showed up for school the next day.

Re: Suction gripper
I would actually recommend against swerve drive unless you have prior experience with it--too many points of failure; it isn't robust in my experience. (Granted, we only tried it once. There are...

It will be completely legal.

Re: Team 3313 Practice Run #2
My guess is that they want to be able to push if need be. I personally think that 13-14fps is a bit fast for a single speed, and I would personally rather have the traction wheels rather than omnis....

Re: CEPHAS 1860 - 10 POINTS/30 POINTS CLIMB
I dont think it is as complicated as everyone else is saying. They can take the same mechanism they have and duplicate it, then mount it so they can pivot it forward to engage the next bar.

Re: MORT Team 11 Weeks 1-3
Why does Mort Beta have a low team number if it is a relatively new team?
Also, I thought my team was large! We are the largest team in MN (last time I checked), with about 80 students. We started...

I don't have access to our pictures right now, but have you considered looking at http://www.frc-designs.com/? They have videos, photos, and CAD drawings of a good number of robots, organized by game.

Re: Best motor/gearing option to drive a shooter?
This makes sense to me, but I couldn't explain to a mentor why you wouldn't want to run the motor at its free speed. Why wouldn't it be consistent at its free speed? Is it just because there isn't...
