Re: Your theory vs. your capability

The drivetrain is a little louder than expected but should still be a quite solid performer, just as it was designed to be. We are not getting as many shifts out of the air tanks as we expected, but even if you shift ten times per match that is like every 12 seconds. We should not need more than six shifts in a match. The arm is absolutely amazing. Speed is as designed, but length, movement and reach is much more impressive in person than in Inventor. Through about four hours of practicing yesterday, we have found that the whole process of obtaining and stacking a tetra takes a very significant amount of time, but hopefully with more practice, programming, and a few mechanical tweaks that will speed up. For weight we were .25-.5 lbs over, by the end of tonight we will be under.
