Re: Wire Burned Sprockets
Posted by Thomas A. Frank at 03/07/2001 5:49 PM EST
Engineer on team #121, The Islanders/Rhode Warrior, from Middletown (RI) High School and Naval Undersea Warfare Center. In Reply to: Wire Burned Sprockets Posted by Michael Ciavaglia on 03/07/2001 8:43 AM EST: : Does anybody know why they changed the rule back? I suspect that it was to maximize the amount of pain felt by the teams, so as to distract us from the fact that this year isn't really a competition in the conventional sense of the word. In as much as SPI has a lousy selection of gears in 25 pitch (many of which weren't in stock), it was certainly limiting. I sincerely hope that FIRST not only goes back to last years rules on materials, but extends them so that teams without great shop support have at least some reasonable options for designing their machines...no team should have to compromise their design because they can't fabricate something that anyone with any sense would go to the local hardware store to buy! I also hope they go back to us actually competing... Tom Frank |
