2. If the GDC wanted to allow limited roll, it could have modified the hole added by REV A. This would not have affected pitch. 3. REV B now allows about plus or minus 10 degrees of roll and pitch. Under some pitch loads, it also allows the 1018 steel cylinder to be levered against the aluminum C channel. 4. I'm glad that you think this change benefits your design. When the design of a component changes there are usually some that benefit, some that are harmed, some for which the change is irrelevant, and some who remain in ignorant bliss. Quote:
It may be that this is new territory for the GDC with a major component of the robot supplied as part of the field. This introduces a new element to the engineering - mating with an externally specified and supplied component. I think that this is a good thing that opens up new opportunities. But I think that specs for a component of the robot system and a the specs for game piece are of a different character. If the intent is for the piece to be an integral part of the robot on the floor, then the specs should be frozen at kickoff and not changed without both good reason and cogent explanation.

Re: Team Update 5
Where do you find the updated GE drawings?
All I can find on the FIRST site is 9036A and 9040. |

I believe the file name hasn't changed so you may have a browser cache issue. Make sure you refresh the page. Then try a save link as and specify a different name and see if that works. |

Re: Team Update 5
Thanks, it was some sort of cache problem. Saving the link got the current file.

Don't get me wrong though; I'm all for milling a 1/4" slot to allow for roll, which would prohibit pitch. I suppose we can call the GDC lazy for going with the simple method of drilling a bigger hole. ![]() |
