Re: dribbler/roller

1583 is using 3 7/8 inch Banebot wheels on 20:1 Banebot 36 mm gearboes with the FP motors. Since the FPs are on Jags we can spin the ball either slow or fast. For example if we back up we speed the dribbler up to make sure the ball stays with the robot. Just before we kick we slow the ball way down to reduce the effects of the back spin on the kick.
