Re: Thoughts on the new AM14U 2014 KOP Drive train?

We ordered our 2nd AM14U on kickoff, received it late last week, and now have it mechanically assembled. It really is nice having two robot frames, it allows for much more parallel work. After far too much discussion we decided to mount our electronics panel on the underside of the chassis since we will inevitably change our minds about the layout 15 times between now and mid-February, and it will be nice to be able to pop it off without moving or unbolting anything else. You can see our layout improved significantly from when we threw A together on kickoff and when B was actually laid out today.



Our students are now quite sick of "tapping" churros.
