Go to Post Without mentors, you wouldn't even be participating in FIRST. Your team wouldn't exist, and FIRST as a program wouldn't exist. If it did, it'd just be another form of a science fair. - Cory [more]

Two questions:
Were you using one or two CIMS?
What wheels were you using?
It was a pretty stressful situation considering ship was only hours away. We did not have any other carrier plates handy unfortunatly. However, we are getting more carrier plates, and will replace the current ones the thursday of practice matchs. As mentioned, we were ready to put on the gearbox from last year's robot just for a couple hours to test with for the programming guys. Luckly, the guys in the shop were able to dremble it down, and do some other stuff to the plate (im not completly sure what was done, i wasnt watching, i was getting the old gearbox out of last years bot) By doing some maching to the plate, we were able to put back this year gearbox, although we were very careful while driving, because the plate could have give anytime (luckly it did not... the arm broke instead..thats a whole other story)
We are using 4 cims... 2 for each side
We are using the 6" wheels from the KOP (6 wheel drive with offset)
