Re: High torque that can be purchased.
I'd be curious to see how you designed the disc brake. We remembered that we saw a few on other robots in 2008 and we designed a system this year using a Tolomatic pneumatic disc brake. Unfortunately we figured out in Q&A that it wasn't legal, since it wasn't "A pneumatic cylinder". It was a mechanism with a cylinder... But I digress.

So, did you design your own system with a ready cylinder or find some legal COTS alternative?

*By the way, Loved playing with you guys! Your team is always friendly, gracious and certainly a force to be reckoned with. Great showing this season!*
