Re: pic: Ungreased toughboxes!!!!

Jason,

We've been really "lucky" this year to have had a lot of time to drive on the playing surface so far during build season.

We assembled the C-Base kit-frame the day we received it, and have also had our practice robot assembled for some time now. Between the two robots, we've had about 4 weeks of continuous driving. Many nights we have both robots going at the same time, and in a few days we'll have all three on the field.

The blessing is that we've had more time driving during a build season than I've ever witnessed. The drawback, is that as we play with traction control, and test over longer periods of time, failures tend to happen.

However, besides blowing a few Jaguars, and having this happen, it's been a pretty uneventful build season =)...

I guess take this as a public service announcement:

Grease your ToughBoxes!
Be nice to your Jaguars!


If there's any advice I'd give from Team 188 to other teams, it would be that.

Even though we expected the low-friction environment would be "easier" on our drive components, we've quickly found out that this may be the most taxing year we've ever witnessed on a drivetrain in FRC.
