Go to Post So basically, the advantage of #35 is that it allows you to be sloppier in your design and fabrication. If you pay close attention to these details, you will never have a problem with #25 chain. - Jim Zondag [more]

Re: pic: 4143 offseason swerve drive

Looks really good! I always like to other teams using direct drive on the swerve modules, avoiding pivot gears. We had really good luck with our slip rings this past year... Something to keep in mind.

If y'all have any questions about the code, feel free to holler. You might find the Macy's robot code a little more decipherable. It's on our github site also.

From the looks of things, y'all have it figured out, though.

So are y'all going to use it this season?

We're going to wait and see what the game is first. Making it during the build season will take a lot of resources.

We learned a lot trying to climb last year. We spent so much time getting that to work, we couldn't shoot. That cost us a lot of autonomous points. (although our 1-point goal autonomous dumper did win at least one match)

One other point I forgot to make, all the parts were made on a manual mill and manual lathe. So we should be able do all the machining in the school's machine shop. Our team has taken a lot of pride in having the students do the fabricating, and we are lucky to have a good machine shop at the school.
