Rookie team in need of scaling advice
Thank you for the responses.
We are slowing our roll with regards to climbing right now due to just how hard all of this is, but haven't ruled out a "moonshot" attempt to get something together under 30lbs. after the bag date that we can add on later.
Speaking of difficult, my goodness are the Dart actuators difficult to get working properly. Missing magnets for the Hall sensors, no instructions for the Hall effect, weak collars, bad fit for the leads/shaft, weird software interactions, and one of the adult mentors taking apart the best one we'd already assembled to see how it worked so he could build another (not easy) have all led to a cornucopia of frustration with the Darts.
It is truly a shame that the Firgelli actuators (assembled, half the price, much lighter & smaller, just as much strength) are illegal.
