Re: Durability in FRC

During 2013 and going into 2014 we are keeping maintenance in mind.

This past year our shooter was very easy to maintain with an easy access panel for changing shooter wheels. Our shooter motors were mounted to a separate plate that we could undo four bolts to drop out the motors and swap it with a spare assembly if a motor died. Our climber was also attached using 3 bolts so a replacement was an easy swap.

Our drivebase wasn't the easiest to keep up over the course of two regionals, Champs, IRI, and 2 off-seasons so we are working on a simpler base that is reliable but makes it easy to replace parts.
