Re: Thank you GDC
Addressing our concerns about bumpers by entirely removing defense is like the NFL addressing concerns about helmet safety by playing 2 hand touch.

Re: VEXPro 2014: After The Season
Versaplanetary Gearboxes: We use them all the time. They are awesome for prototyping and iterating designs. The two 10:1s with bag motors on our intake had no issues all year. The 50:1 for shooter...

Re: Changing Circuit breakers
Yes, we noticed this. We believe running and stalling was heating the breakers to the point of causing them to trip earlier. We saw them trip at stall, but only immediately after matches or hard...

Re: Changing Circuit breakers
We saw this issue with our 4 cim drive this year. It happened mostly when pushing or trying to turn out of a pin in high gear. If either were repeated through the match, the breakers would get...

Re: Interesting material usage?
We've used lots of carbon fiber, some fiberglass, brass, titanium, acrylic, and polycarb. Still waiting on a chance to work with magnesium.

Re: Missed Inbounder Assists
What annoys me most about this situation is if that had been a red ball, there would have been a penalty, no questions asked. I know at our event refs were far more reluctant to call possessions on...

Re: Why does everyone hate this game so much?
But in football, your team has control of those factors. A top level football team can ensure they have the best quarterback AND receivers. With the alliances of First, you bring the quarterback...

Re: Week 3 analysis
The biggest things I learned week 3:
Get your auton balls in. If you can't clear them fast, keep them off the field.
Human players need to move fast. Nothing is more frustrating than waiting for...

Re: 2014 Howell District
Huge thanks to 27 and 3536. That was an awesome alliance to play with.
Not sure how much force, but it's motor assisted too.

Re: pic: Robostangs 548's 2014 Robot
IMO the biggest befit of the extra power is passing over the truss. We can get it to the HP across most of the field with a nice catchable ark. It also flattens our trajectory so we have a larger...

Re: pic: Robostangs 548's 2014 Robot
Right now our drum is at a precarious balance between winch speed and shooting power. I know we can shoot from beyond 20 feet, but at that point we start to loose consistency, so we set our long...

Re: pic: Robostangs 548's 2014 Robot
We started with 2, but it wasn't really cutting it for us. We mostly wanted the extra power to make truss shots cleaner and stationary shots more consistent, but we've seen a big jump on range as...

Historically, the success rates of our carbon fiber bots are significantly higher then those without. Once we saw the game, we knew we needed to make another.
Some specs:

Consider that the 12V from your robot isn't any different from the 12V from your car's cigarette lighter. (Err... sorry... that's "power port" these days, thank goodness.) - dtengineering [more]
