Re: FRC Team 973 2012 Robot :: Encore

I love everything about this robot! The level of engineering detail is one few teams achieve in this competition, and I have a great deal of respect for those that can make something as awesome and effective as this.

A few quick questions:

What type of material did you use to make your intake rollers? I spent a lot of time looking through grainger catalogs trying to determine what type of plastic to use for my teams rollers, but in the end we used PVC for the sake of time and cost. What are the advantages of this material?


I noticed that in the video you had what looked like a different camera from what is on Encore in the picture you recently posted. Would you mind explaining this?


What is the material around your CIM motors being used for?

Lastly.
I've found it very interesting that a lot of teams with higher-end machining capabilities have made their turret rotation at the base of the robots "tower", instead of directly under the shooter itself. Are there specific advantages to this?

Again, I'm very impressed with the design and capabilities of your robot.
It is currently my favorite bot so far this year. Keep up the good work Greybots!
