Re: Innovative designs

This was last year's last minute addition: After noticing our arm motor was running hot, we improvised a heat sink. During testing and after matches the motor was never hotter than room temp.


This year we had to make our own encoder wheels because the shaft was spinning too fast to use a COTS encoder. I don't have any pictures, but it works quite nicely.
