Re: [FTC]: TETRIX DC Motor failure analysis
I just got some info back from yesterday's build session. The students discovered that the slowdowns were due to the excessive use of rubber bands that over stiffened the contact between the shooter wheels and the ball. They were adding more rubber bands throughout the day in order to increase consistency of the shots. Everything's back up to normal speeds now.
4 teams with a total of 22 motors on the bots and 0 broken after 1 competition. Just a different environment and different luck I guess. Last year I think our 4 teams burned through 12 or so. |
