Re: pic: Team 5624 Steamworks Robot Teaser

We are going to be assembling our drivetrain with Vex Omnis and Versahubs today and I am wondering if the hubs just press fit into the wheels or if we need a bolt to run through and clamp them in. Thanks and Nice looking robot!

They press fit pretty securely into place. We actually had to use our Arbor press to assemble them. However, I'd put at least 3 bolts on for some extra security.

That gearing is very fast and you could be prone to brown outs. I would do some testing and adjust your drive speed accordingly.
i forgot to mention where we arrived at the 11 FPS number from. we prefer to run our motors up to approximately 87.5% of their max speed to maintain efficiency. so we would never reach the 13-14 FPS range, i apologize for the confusion and misinformation.

If you really are geared for 11fps, consider going up to at least 15 or 16fps to take advantage of the extra acceleration of 6 CIMs.

Your robot looks very cool! Is that a wooden polycord pulley on the bottom?
At the bottom is a wooden polycord floor level ball intake. its only wooden because we are waiting on the real pieces to be milled, so we are just using the prototype pieces.

and on the gearing, check the post above for an explanation on what i forgot to mention about it.
