Re: The Future of FIRST: BaneBots?
My question is how many teams actually had problems with these. I know that many did have some problems but at our regional where most of the robots used these I never heard about one of these failing. The smaller ones failed but that was in cases where I looked and expected it to fail (arm). I suspect that there was a lot of ruckus over it and it made people nervous. Most of the failures that I heard of happened when the shaft wasn't properly supported. I think that FIRST will use these in the future, and while I hope that they do make improvements and test them is much more strenuous situations, I would be content to see the current iteration in the kit next year.
