That has to be a record number of practice/freshman bots.

Due to some random requests I'm going to do an impromptu workshop Saturday on motor curves, arm/elev/system gearing/motor selection, and similar math for drivetrains.

Exact location and time TBD, but likely Saturday afternoon.

Can this workshop be filmed for those who are unable to attend?

We are planning a filming of Adam's workshop and hope to have it available to the public via 973 RAMP.
