Wow that sounds really amazing
I would like to thank you and all other volunteers that devote time to FIRST and teams of FIRST. Without people like you it would be very difficult to build a successful robot. Remember that thanks to NASA many rookie teams joined this year and many will next year thanks to those teams and NASA. Your help would be appreiciated by many of those rookie (and vet.) teams. We for one, while we feel that our robot will be competitive we would have liked some help designing the drive train and other componants of our robot. If we had an expirienced engineer we could take our initial ideas to hin/her and ask if it is feasable with the parts we have. We for one had a drive train that could have worked the first time-if we hade more powerful motors. A mentor could have told us that our design would not work with our current design. Please don't get discouraged by that team, (i dont know the whole story) look to other teams. We would love your help. Thank you again.
-Andy
