Re: New AndyMark Product Game Hint???
This is a great product that basically didn't exist before and is far cheaper / lighter than the previous COTS solution for this particular product. I think whining that the color isn't perfect is really not productive!
I also don't think this is, necessarily, inspired by the game. Compliant wheels have been gaining traction (heh) for years, for both intakes and shooters; for compliant game pieces or rigid ones. Did I mention the alternative was $30 on McMaster and with a hub weighed like a pound?
I'm curious to see how well these hold up at 5K RPM, and if they slip on the shaft or anything at that high of a speed.

I'm absolutely certain there are simpler ways of accomplish the same things. I'm simply not the best that FIRST has to offer in this regard and part of what drives me to keep going is the desire to get better at achieving an elegant solution with as few superfluous processes as possible. - Madison [more]
