Off-Season Projects

[Hawiian Cadder]

a couple of people on my team have some interesting off season projects.

i am looking into making 2 speed transmissions with less money than buying premade ones, and less time / difficulty than making fully custom ones. i plan to buy the gears, shafts, and dog gear from andymark, then create the rest of it in our shop. the cost of bought materials should be only 148 dollars through this method. if it turns out to be a viable solution i will write a white paper and upload CAD files.

another member of my team is looking into the possibilities of using an Arduino to supplement the Crio, and to run a practice bot off.

i am also thinking of looking into finding better encoders.
