Re: Mechanical Reliability

Actual engineering is something our team needs to start doing. I know, I know, "The point of FIRST it to promote engineering, not just building big rc cars", but with a limited engineering mentor base, our team is often between a rock and a hard place where doing the calc. might get you there better, or maybe just doing it on intuition will be faster and quicker. As we grow and begin to learn more though, I feel we will be able to spend more time on design and less on build, build, build!
