Over heard at the
2034 FIRST Competition
" *Cough, cough* Alright guys…My name is John V. Neun.
Cough. Yes, I'm the real one.
I’m here to inspect your robot.
Ok... where are your calculations for maximum motor load.
I want to see the current draw vs. load torque diagrams.
Let me see your calculation for gearbox load.
Did you calculate the motor current draw and robot velocity over time?
Well sonny, I’m waiting…..
*Silence*
Sigh, Just as I thought.
You young JVN-Want-A-Be have it made these days.
When I was young, I build my own gearbox with my own two hands.
I was the best, I tell you, I was the best….
None of these silly prefabricated perpetual engines, virtual transmissions, and ionized-geometry sensors were available in the good old days. They’re for wimps. "
