New Rookie Team Robot drivetrain

[philso]

I work for a division of a large multi-national corporation that manufactures motor controllers for industrial applications. Our Chief Technology Officer would like to speak with the team members who developed this, especially those individuals who coded the Victors. He is anxious to know when he can see a demonstration. I am pretty sure that he would be happy to provide sponsorship for your team after seeing your demonstration. Also, please send me your resumes so I can forward them to our CTO. He is always looking for outstanding engineering talent to give us an advantage over our competitors.

thanks for the opportunity can you message me the email at bill1234@gmail.com, so I can send the information. I'm really excited about the evolution of motor controllers. It saddened me that the victor888s were discontinued, hopefully the talons will pick up on their fan design for superior overclocking on the motor controllers.

Have you taken into account the weight of your bumpers? (And possible the aerodynamics as well)

According to our calculations, the bumpers will lower the height of the hover from 2 in to 1.7496 in, but we have allowed room in the inside of the bottom of our drivetrain to mount more vector 888s to counteract the downward force of the bumpers, we will have to fine tune that a little once the final weight of our robot has been set.

I think our CTO will be out in California the week before the Orange County Regional to visit some partner companies in the renewable energy field. He might be able to extend his trip and attend to see your robot in action. He can then speak with you about how you can scale your technology up into the power range that our products operate in (100 to 1200 hp).

Question, Don't really know the answer, but is creating a hover craft actually legal according to the rules. Like has anyone read through the manual to try and find a way where it is not legal.

So long as the bumpers remain within the required zone, there really isn't anything stopping you besides maybe power/weight for the allowed motors. HIGHLY do not recommend this though. No significant pushing power and you will use a tremendous amount of battery power simply moving air.

Alright thanks.
