Actually, when we were designing our drive train, we had made the same mistake twice which really helped us. We misinterpreted the charts for the drill and chip' motors. We planned on them putting out about 2/3 the power they actually do. When we ran it for the first time, we were all stunned as we had been planning on about 7-8 fps. It took a few days to figure out what happened, but we weren't too hard on ourselves. *grin*
If you like, I can give you a full run-down of our robot at nat's. Just go to our pit and ask for either Garrett (me) or Jesse (Gope). Actually, anyone could give u the robot run down, but Jesse and I know it forwards and backwards. Also, Jesse is on our compliance team, so he could probably get CAD drawings if you like.
