Talking Re: pic: FRC294 Prototype base almost done

I am the son in the father son team Adam mentioned, and this robot is currently sitting in my living room. I am going to address as many questions as possible.

1. Were talking about replacing the rollers with sprockets, (budget and time permitting) because the rollers make a lot of noise when driving.

2. The plastic for the transmissions are way stronger than they look. They were designed to work with some flex, but there very stiff.

3. Yes the side plates are pinned together, the stand offs use pins and bolts(the pins take the shear load, the bolts hold everything together)

those are all the question I think i can answer off the top of my head, but if you have any others feel free to ask.

Taylor
