Re: Rack and Pinion System for Gripper

This type of rack and pinion might be a big excessive for FRC, and would likely have a pretty long lead time

I've used a very similar setup for a steering rack in a formula race car, and we had to wait about a month for it to arrive. It was also several hundred dollars. May not be the easiest thing to interface with a FRC motor
