Re: Durability in FRC

Our team generally tends to make things very durable (arguably too durable). Our frames are made to stand up to the most abuse imaginable (even a pyramid fall). We make our drive-trains low maintenance and easily swap-able (we usually have an entire fully assembled extra set of wheels/motors/gearbox/bracket assemblies on hand every regional). Our systems are independent and modular to allow for easy repair/replacement. We have generally been going to 2 regionals and an off season competition (worlds eludes us every year) and our robots end the season more than capable of spending 2-3x longer under stress.
