 We need to find the female engineering mentors in FIRST and start having them present/co-present technical conferences at the championships. We need to start showing the girls on the teams that there are female engineering "rock stars" to look up to. - Kims Robot [more] |

Re: Mounting an arm potentiometer
In '05, '07, and this year, we've tapped off the first arm reduction sprocket (as seen here - that picture is from '07). Generally we mount an idler sprocket to help tension the chain, then tap the pot sprocket off of the idler. Keeps things simple. Couldn't find any other pictures, but you can try scanning through Joe's website for any that I may have missed.

Re: Mounting an arm potentiometer
It was a pain, but i finally got it mounted with a belt drive. Can someone clarify something for me, though? Do all the pots i use have to be 100k, are other pots against the rules?
