Re: 1671 Presents Doc IX: MvP
Last year they dropped the wheel an 1/8 of an inch and being in a wide configuration it caused a lot of instability in the drive (wobble on the center).
This year since the size restrictions had changed and the bots are going to be smaller than in previous years, the decided to do a 1/16 of an inch drop so that there is essentially no wobble on the base. Especially with a wedge they wanted the bot to be as stable as possible because the wedge needs to be perfectly on the ground.
All in all the 1/16 of an inch drop has worked extremely well this season it is able to drive with no noticeable wobble in the base, and we are able to pick up disks very effectively.
