Re: 2016 Pre-season robot ideas

We have set goals to cover the use of the following:
-Gas springs
-Gas shocks (maybe)
-Pneumatic cylinders
-Timing belt (preferably a 3+ pulley system, like a serpentine belt)
-Gears (and gear lightening)
-Lightweight gearboxes with heavy lightening (like WCP gearboxes)
-Integrating shifter shafts into custom gearbox plates
-Over-center linkage (sort of like a toggle clamp) or other locking linkages.
-Circlips and E-clips
-Chain-in-tube designs
-Intakes for balls

We're not entirely sure what we'll be using to cover those topics.
