Re: The Future of FIRST: BaneBots?
The only complaint about the 56mm transmissions is that they have not been battle tested.
Banebots as a company sells stuff primarily targetted to combat robotics, and their reputation is built on well built components that can survive severe abuse, more so than what we ever experience in FIRST. However, the 56mm never saw active battlebot duty as their other products, and I have to fault them for not having tested the transmissions for robotic combat.
My suggestion to Banebots is to hand over their transmission designs to real battlebot builders and see what they have to say. If it can survive that, then it can survive FIRST. If that happens then I will gladly welcome Banebots back to the Kit of Parts for 2008.
