Re: Brakes
see our pits in Newton at Nationals and we will have a sample to show you.
As Bharat said- we use a servo to drive a pin into the gears of the drive linkage and lock up the whole gear box. The result is 130 lbs of dead weight with 6 wheel traction. You move that you deserve to win. the idea is simple- but you need to do a little programming to go with it and the work needs to be precise. It is EASY to have the pins tear apart your whole drive train if you dont design properly. And we discovered that when they reset the FIRST fields for a blown match we need to completely reset our auto modes or they engage automatically leaving us sitting there (3 rounds at NJ!!) Servos- gotta love em! WC  |
