Re: AndyMark Parts Feedback 2015

We used two new AM parts this year.

1. 4" mech wheels: We found them to be robust and very smooth. We only had one roller failure. It was on the practice robot. We wore out one of the brass rollers/rivets. It was easily repaired with a bolt. Not really complaining about the failure because that robot was driven very hard by my drivers. We actually caught air going over the scoring platform in an attempt to tip the robot over. We will use these wheels again.

2. Raw Box: This was used to power our two cim elevator. The worm screw was ALMOST un-backdriveable (is that a word?). With a little programming it easily kept a 6 tote stack at the proper elevation. No failures and would use again.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
