Re: For those who are skeptical about propellers - Team 2526

I'm pretty sure that if the props can resist any vibrations that they and the motors generate, they should hold in a robot collision. I mean yeah, it will be a significant change in acceleration, but that's still no reason for the props to spontaneously explode.

Oh and update: We've decided to add power to the back 2 wheels powered by a CIM motor. So basically, that'll add some extra acceleration that we lack, and the props should handle well with the turning. ;D
