Re: Rough Play in Rack N Roll

I think there were two yellows in qualifying at the AZ regional. The final rounds were kind of agressive, but I didn't really notice any intentional damage. Having robots that can reach up 8 feet means that manipulators are going to take a beating...so designing to resist that beating should be part of the plan from the beginning.

Strangely enough, we didn't have any trouble with our arm's 125:1 BB transmission....but the music wire claw did require frequent reshaping, and still needs some redesign or adjusting.
