Mr.Lim you are correct I just never used low gear often enough to justify 2 speeds. I would always go around rather than threw a bot it just seemed faster and when we did play defense it would be positional and in the rare case T-boning which was only needed for last second events and not long periods of pushing. Also I'm sure Riddhesh of all people can mesh speed with finesse after 09's performance.
The 3/16'' drop will be a test if it doesn't yield favorably then we'll go back to 1/8''.
Encoders are on the gearbox under the electronics board
Sheet metal sponsor is Sable Metals.
Yes this is going to be the summer project hopefully to start next week and of course I'm willing to share my CADs I'll email them over.
For manipulators depends on the function I'm sure it won't be difficult.
