Re: FIRST Technical Crash Course
I hate to take this off the discussion, but I guess it is pertinent to the transmission discussion. Brad, did you feel that the 1/2"( I think) plates on the transmission were needed, or would something more like 1/4" be adequate? We havn't built a drivetrain box yet, but we have done arm gearboxes before. 1/4" seems to work for an arm alright. Our team has a habit of overkill, and if we do ever decide to build a drivetrain box, I'd like to make sure it doesn't become afflicted with the syndrome...
