Re: Last Minute Changes

When we arrived at Bayou and ran a practice match we discovered we had made a calculation error in our drivetrain, and the thing wouldn't turn on carpet.

The only way we could fix what we had done, was a spontaneous co-axial drive system.

Using entirely borrowed and scrounged up parts from other teams we were able to assemble in just 2 hours, a whole new drive setup, geared completely different taking up no more room on the robot, and having a pretty cool engineering aspect displayed.
