Re: Please save our eardrums by lowering volume on sound effects at Champs

I've resorted to wearing ear plugs. The decibel volume has been far too loud for too many years. I've given up trying to get them to lower it. So ear plugs it is.

Re: Questions about building a West Coast Drive with VersaChassis

We have never used a chain holder. The chain breaker has teeth and a lock pin that holds the chain in place. It correctly aligns the links so you can just push the pin in. It's just like the DS...

Re: Team 1089 - Mercury - 2014 Robot: The Mammoth

Hard to say, as we didn't time the number of shots per second.
We did time the shooting time itself and that's a process we'll speed up.
It's mostly a code tweak to run motors faster, etc..

Re: 100% CPU Utilization Using 10ms Periodic Task

Re: 100% CPU Utilization Using 10ms Periodic Task

I'm beginning to think that as well. Finding it will be the challenge.
