 The sword is only as powerful as it's beholder. But if you choose the labview sword you won't get much tech support at regionals. - xXhunter47Xx [more] |

Re: New FTC Platform
After thinking about potential ways to improve the new FTC kits for a while, I came to the conclusion that in addition to easily mating with all the Vex gears, wheels, and sprockets/chain, there should also be something "new" in the FTC kits. Pneumatics.
Give teams the choice of two or three different stroke lengths, and the choice of one or two air accumulators. And if you want to make it difficult, limit the number of potential motors used on the robot if they choose to use pneumatics. Many of the issues that I had previously identified with the FTC kits (lack of a multitude of different gears and overall kit consistency) could be circumvented with use of pneumatics.
