Re: The Future of FIRST: BaneBots?

I picked "Other"

Do you think that FIRST will put the BaneBot tranny in the KOP for the 08 season?

Yes

Will they make it better?

Aside from the plate issue, unlikely.


So basically my answer to the poll is:

Yes they will bring it back, but it was, and still is, a bad idea.



From our experience with the BaneBots motor and tranny I can say this much about it... Don't use it for anything that requires a lot of power unless you're a pyro. We tryed using it to power our manipulator (which we never did get to put on... <_<) and it nearly burned the place down!
