[FTC]: Team 35's Servo Test
We were a bit skeptical about using the servos for anything serious, articulating arm joints for example. After our first 5 hour meeting, we are VERY excited about this new kit. We brainstormed, and then prototyped 3 different ways of articulating joint for our arm. One powered by servos, one powered by 2 Lego motors and another powered by one of the larger FTC motors.

I'm posting a Video of the servo test. We attached the bracket to the frame of last years VEX 'bot for this test. The programming was a tad off for this video (we couldn't keep the arm at any angle we wanted). It was fixed later on, but i didn't get my lens on it.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
