Re: Strangest thing built with FRC parts?

It wasn't entirely FRC legal parts, but I once built and FRC-style backpack compressor with an Arduino-controlled cooling fan that drew more power than the compressor itself at full blast... and generated about 1 pound of force of upward thrust. No, the backpack did not fly. But it did everything to increase that 9% duty cycle.

There was also the time I attempted to build and program a Segway-style drivebase for FRC, but never got that balancing loop programmed and tuned in right. However, that ADIS16448 worked like a charm. Maybe a degree of drift after 2 minutes, you couldn't really see it.
