Re: Who had to rebuild?
Not sure it would qualify as a rebuild, but a week or so ago, we decided to see what would break before the regional, so we purposely took the bot at full speed over a game field bump about 10 times each direction. We managed to crack one corner of the wooden floorboard, pulled one wire loose, slightly warped an omni wheel but we never killed the bot.
Our goal was to see if it would flip over, but since we had already decided to not turn on the side of the hill, it wasnt an issue. The center of gravity is nice and low so tipping over endwise shouldnt be an issue. We have been using nylock nuts on all our major structural fasteners, easier than trying to remember what got loctite and what didnt, and they have not shaken loose so far. Mike
