Re: How Would You Change Your Robot

Very little compared to the last two years:
-Two speed 6 CIM drive transmissions instead of 6 CIM single speed 15fps. We couldn't push without tripping the main breaker and even tripped it in aggressive driving. A low gear means we could push without stalling motors.

-More consistent, easy-to-replace catapult spring. We used stretched and tied surgical tubing which required frequent maintenance to maintain acceptable, let alone optimal trajectories. With a better material, we could have consistently had an extremely wide sweet spot.
