Whats with the lexan on the sides? Do those come down or what?
|
Many teams have asked us "What are they for?" or "How do they work?" the answer to this is
They are mainly used for defense while capping -
this works by robots trying to ram us, instead they end up driving straight up them and loosing traction.
They also aid us to prevent "Side tipping"
Now the next question people ask is "Are they going to break from the amount of weight pressed down on them?
The answer is most likely no
The Wedges are made of 1/4 inch Lexan which is very reliable
As some dont know 1/4 inch lexan is an 1/8 smaller than Bullet-Proof
so yes they are very strong.
The wedges are motor driven by two Window Motors (One per side)
Thats the scoop on our Wedges
Any other questions?
