Re: <R38> and adhesive backed tape in 2008
One thing to keep in mind that our team learned the hard way last year - anything that's not bolted on with lock-tite (or equivalent), welded, or otherwise attacked to take a beating can hurt you! We lost the semifinals last year because an alliance robot had some "decorative fabric" hanging off their robot all the way to the ground - thus no bonus points for having them on top of us. Some member of the team attached the fabric strip using (or so rumor has it) nail polish...
Tape can lose it's cohesiveness and drop off the robot, get pulled into your drive train, and cause some major problems! |
