Re: Team 840 hurdles-VIDEO

That looks really neat! It sure feels good when it all comes together, doesn't it?

I do have a couple of questions, though... it looks like you seem to have a bit of trouble turning. Would it help to put omni-wheels on one end? Maybe this was more new drivers being cautious than a mechanical difficulty, but in our experience we have found that the carpet offers even more traction... and presents more challenge for turning... than pavement, so if you sensed there was a problem, it is probably something you will want to deal with.

I'm also curious about whether you checked to make sure the robot is in compliance with the 80 inch rule that all parts of the robot have to be within 80" of each other at all times. I apologize for even mentioning it as the rule has pretty much been discussed to death here on C.D., the rule book and team updates and I'm SURE that you have checked, but it looks like... and again I emphasize looks... like this may be an issue.

In any case, congratulations and good luck at your regional!

Jason
