The only problem we see this year are the bins. Were in the rules say you can't try to go under the bar just because there is a bin in front of you. We hit a bin at Qunicy mini-meet and we stop short of making the bin go under the bar. are robot has enough power to push the bins under the bar. some of the bins will bend and others will go in many pieces. Is it the fault of the robot trying to get to the other side or is it the fault of this year game using something that will break under high loads.
I really hope they have a lot of bins.
One other thing I hope the other robot protect there robot good. one arm start at 7" off the ground and the other at 8 1/2" off the ground. we did not play against any of the robot at this meet because of the thought of breaking them before they had to be shipped.
So please protect and cover everything up.
Our robot is made to push a lot of bins, if another robot comes in contact with the arms, the arms will go through the robot if the robot is not protected.
We have to cut more gears because the gears we are using out of Stainless steel 1/2" twisted. You can see the out put power of this robot has. We will be trying to use stronger steel.
it is nice to have a machine that cut your own gears. We have gone through 4 set of gears already because of the power problem.
we will see everybody down in FL.
