Re: FRC 95, The Grasshoppers, Build Thread
Started our drive-train burn-in only to have the burn-in go a little too literal for us...
Side plate off to investigate:
Yeah... had some rubbing chain tensioners...
Milled them down, reassembled, and tried out some defenses.
Moat
Low Bar
Did some crossing exercises, everything looked good, until...
Weirdest chain failure I've seen, and the only one I've ever had on a 95 robot. Master-link was good, fractures are on opposite sides of the chain loop, tensioners were installed and slack(ish), and our nominal FoS is around 4 or 5. Bizarre...
