Re: FRC 95, The Grasshoppers, Build Thread

Last night we got our shoulder joint hooked up, but found that we couldn't hold tension properly in the chain, so we'll be working to improve that tonight.

We also got our long-awaited pneumatic wheels in, which helped immensly with crossing barrier like the rock wall.

However, we snapped a chain again!

I re-did my tension calculations and found that I had made a mistake and that our FoS was not 4-5 ish, but closer to 1.8! That's no good, clearly. So, we'll be upgrading to #35 chain for our drive.

Pictures and video to follow.
