Re: pic: 2 speed V.3

Nice design, how come I didn't get a sneak preview? ;-) I'd like to point out that David, Cory and even Tiffany all touched on the radius issue though, credit where deserved and all that. But maybe I'm just whiny....

Also, I understand not wanting to redo the wheels, but those ratios worry me, I'd like that on record, the low gear is ok at 6.5 fps....but the high gear seems too high.....in the hard to control range, making it useless, I think you'd be better off toning it down a bit further, say 4-4.5 fps for low and no higher than 8 or 9 for high, just to maintain control. I can't see a use a for a wildly speeding robot and 6.5 isn't that "low" really. Or maybe I'm crazy. You tell me.

Well that's my input, probably not wanted as usual but that's yet to shut me up.

P.S. I think you singed a few coattails by accident, might want to watch that until you get better.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
