Go to Post If my shop was snowed in and my unfinished robot was sitting in there, I'd dig it out with a plastic spoon or melt it out with a Bic lighter if I had to. Every hour counts. If there's a will, there's a way to make it happen. - sanddrag [more]

Wink Re: Palmetto Regional Robots

875 going For all of the practice rounds and six qualifiers the arm was completely inoperable due to either sensor issues or problems with the feedback code. In the team's last two matches the arm was enabled under human control, a rather dangerous method since it was easy to hyperextend the arm and damage it. Unfortunately, in the first of those two rounds one drive wheel was broken, causing one side of the robot to be immobile, and the hasty replacement job (only one spacer was on the axle) for the second match failed when defense started to be played against the robot after it scored a ringer. Overall, the drivebase preformed well, with the exception of breaking two AM kit wheels due to undetermined causes. And, when once the arm was working it was smooth and quick, by far 587's best arm ever. It, along with a turret system, actually impressed an inspector to the point that after he was done, he came back to the 587 pit pit to take pictures of the design.
