We found the spring deflects about 7/32" when the gear is placed on the end. Here's some pictures: http://imgur.com/a/FGELI
It's pretty stiff and holds the gear, even when it's on the very end. Good luck teams! |
Hey, is that the real spring that will be used in competitions? If so is it possible for you to post a video of your spring and the gear being put on the spring in different ways. There is a huge debate in my team about the springiness of the spring, and I'm sure other teams are in the same situation. We've ordered the spring but it will be while before it gets here.
