2775 is converting our practice bot to a co-axial swerve drive. Based on testing at our site and pending acceptance to IRI, we will decide which one to bring.

If we get in I think we're planning on making the drivetrain faster, and increasing the firing rate even more.

Of that list only 56 of those teams were on the initial invite list last year. I'm not sure of those who were on the wait list ended up coming.

So you weren't kidding when you said there was not much to do in Jackson...let us know when you start running "simulation mode."

im so nervous!!!! only a few days to go to they announce. If we do get invited though, I hope that we go with a design that was idealized by a close friend of 3119.

Exactly when AB and CF get around to it on May 12th.
(they're a bit more dependable than Billfred with his caption contest)

[dwaynetrip3119]

I hope its in the morning lol.

[Chris is me]

It would be really cool if it was 12:01 Indiana time (1 hour!) but somehow I doubt that. I'll be stalking CD to see if we get in, maybe it'll make up for the final I have tomorrow morning if we do.

[Chris Fultz]

Everything should be posted before noon on 12 May.

1507 did this with our drivetrain. We swapped a pair of sprockets out for slightly larger ones (25%) and it really helped.Highly recommended!
