Fun competition. Things that I learned is that batteries do need to be cycled off-season otherwise it's like running a porsche on 87 fuel. Our robot deserves the status of the most enduring one. Our tilt fell apart so the shooter was flopping up and down, we had lost, bent, stripped screws all around. The treads were gone, and I mean gone. We ended up drilling holes in the andy mark hubs and fitted zipties onto them. Worked well I must admit. The most astonishing thing that happened to our robot is the left gear box literally exploded...not electrically, mechanically. The bolts from one of the motors came off, making the pinion gear strip, fall off, interfere with the other gears and finally put a hole about 3cmx4cm in our gearbox. AND IT STILL RAN!!!!!!!!! We placed second in the ramp race but I think we could have easily gotten 1st if the batteries were charged and we had treads. It's all fun though. We placed 4th in the qualifiers I believe and made it to quarter finals.
fun fun
Oh and I have just been informed that we won the best drive system award
cheers
