Re: ARM GEARING ON ROBOT
Since we hate underkill (i.e as in "oh no it doesn't work) and love overkill (as in "haha we can pick up the center goal") ... we ran 2 FPs geared 1700:1 (w/ sprocket) lol... so much torque we actually ripped one arm in half after a day of practice (the peeps at the jesuit scrimmage kno what i'm talkin bout...) ... so we went back and made one out out of 1/8 box + a jacket of 1/8 X 1.25 X1.25 and guess what we bent it! so we slapped a piece of quarter inch plate on ... it looks bad but oh well...
