Re: So Close!!!!
The one thing our team did wrong last year is we didn't analyze the game enough. We came up with this overly complicated stacking solution that didn't even work well. As a result, we spent all of our time trying to get it to work, and when the competitions rolled around, our robot didn't even move well.
This year we're going to spend a lot more time analyzing the game. Had we done that, we could have realized that it requires far more time to stack bins than to merely knock a stack down or get a lot of bins to your side. Very few teams developed a robot that worked well enough to stack efficiently and accurately. This year, we're going to try and see game flaws like this and design appropriately.

Re: So Close!!!!
make sure that all the calculations are right that the gears in the tranny wont lose the teeth in every single match... and that we dont have to take the tranny apart 26 times during one regional!!!

Re: So Close!!!!
K.I.S.S.
Keep it simple stupid deff that for my team we tried to have a stacking pushing bot last year, stacking didn't work and the robot was never fully completed due to complex design.

Re: So Close!!!!
yes, simple is the way too go. as I was not on our team last year, I don't know much about it, so I couldn't tell you if it was simple or not.

Re: So Close!!!!
Simple isnt always the solution. However, when that 3 speed, shift on the fly crab transmission doesnt work, make sure you have a fall back option. We are going to try and do some stuff we havent tried before, but if we mess it up, we know we have the same standard drive system that weve used for the last four years that we can slap together in a day.

Re: So Close!!!!
Make sure shipping is taken care of so we don't show up at a Regional with our robot half way across the country...
