Re: pic: The Hammer
Sorry for the thread revival, but I have a question.
How did you stop this kicker when it reached the edge of your robot? How did you stop the motor from stalling when it reached this point? I'm working on something similar for IRI (hopefully) and other off seasons, and we were wondering what you used to stop the motor from trying to spin when the kicker reached the end of its trajectory, and whether or not you needed some foam in your frame to prevent your high velocity kicker from ruining it.

Girls, if you are techy, great! If you're not, don't worry about it. We're all good at something and FIRST can show you what that is. Just remember, be true to WHO YOU ARE.
