Re: pic: Robostangs 548's 2014 Robot
4 40-lb CF springs?! Now that is a tremendous amount of force! Do you know if you really need 4 of them (i.e. assuming that do actually improve range, how much does that range get help you?)? Seems like it'll mostly just be adding wear/stress, given that most teams that I know that are using CF springs are using ~40-100lb of force.
Looks really slick! I can definitely see the inspiration from the 2011 and 2012 548 robots. Also pretty similar to our design (and many other teams') from a somewhat top-level standpoint.
