Re: VEXPro - After the season
2815 used the Mini-CIMs, the ball shifters, and two sprockets.
The Mini-CIMs were flawless in operation. Best design choice? Questionable...but that's our problem, not theirs.
The sprockets were solid. I appreciated having the tooth count on there, and we had no problems (other than needing a different tooth count on there--again, our problem not theirs).
The ball shifters didn't get nearly the use I expected--between sprocket size miscalculations and an odd binding issue that kept us driving in arcs, we had drive and cRIO brownout issues all season. Now that the robot is home and no longer in a bag, I expect us to have a fun session getting to the bottom of things. Might've been the ball shifters, might've been something else.
