So let me rephrase what i said before:
"Please inform me of how a Gyroscope flywheel is anything that you normally see on an FRC robot. From my understanding and observations I have seen very very few robots that incorporated a Gyroscope flywheel into their robot's design.None in the past, and a select few this year. I would love to know how it is a copy of anything previously done in this competition." |
/Agree
We were the other team, 3020, who had a Control Moment Gyroscope on our robot. Now, it wasn't 22 pounds and it couldn't flip the robot 180 degrees, but it did affect steering. The award was well deserved if the team had a gyro. Unfortunately one of our team members spoke to a judge about the gyroscope on ours, and had no idea how it worked so he decided to throw BS out, which sounds like how they determined who got the award. I'm glad that 263 go it though, and not a team with a less innovative device.
Now, if I remember correctly, 1717 got an award for crab drive. Correct me if I'm wrong though. I will admit, I'm a fan of 1717, and their crab drive was working beautifully.
