Re: Burning the FP's

gear that devil down... even if it worked with the origional 4:1 reduction, that arm is flying through the air, and when the arm+robot+tetra all runs into a brick wall, thats a lot of intertia waaaaay up in the air... we learned the hard way last year what inertia does to an arm, and what happens when intertia takes over..not a pretty sight.. the tip of our arm, fully extended, will move no faster than 16in/sec..
good luck
