Re: How Would You Change Your Robot
I can't complain much considering that we are walking away with 3 blue banners, and a division finalist
Things I would have changed:
-Use wheels with tread
we used kitbot wheels and they wore down so much we needed to replace them every competition, we have gone thru 36 wheels this year.
-Shifting Gearbox
we were neither fast or slow so we couldn't push thru or run around defense making it hard to get to our sweet spot.
-be able to shoot with collector and shoulder in
our robot had the shooter actuate outside the frame to provide more room for longer arms. This caused G28 calls in our first two evens(wasn't a problem in 3-5th) we originally decided that we needed the ball to be touching the intake so we could eject the ball but we have seen some clever ball ejection mechanisms.
-faster intake gearbox
our gearing was perfect for our two ball auto but it would have been nice to pick up a little faster in teleop
