Thanks for the clarification Brian. The whole pin thing was something I was told by one of the 1126 kids. I guess there must have been some miscommunication from A to B
Some pictures would be great. Obviously there won't be much in terms of match video of drive brakes, so I'd really appreciate a visual of your brake system!
On another note, as far as 67's Utility Arm and 1986's Talons go, I'll give them their own special category that can properly display their awesome! If anyone has any up-close picture or video of The Utility Arm and The Talons, I think it would make the special category that much more useful, since my intended purpose for that category would be to show devices that don't fit into any one and single category, but are great pieces of ingenuity that teams in the future could really learn something from studying.
