I dont get what all you people have done wrong to make the drills have so many problems. We modified them by removing the clutch and the pins, and we never had a single problem. The one problem we did have was with the mounts that were trash in my mind for anyone but a team that doesnt have the machining capability to make their own.
Yes, they did have over heating problems, but this years drill was more powerful than last years, so that is to be expected. We ran our motors under full load for a good 5 matches in the finals at Cal Games yesterday with 15 minutes or so between matches, and even 5 minutes in the finals, and they got hot, but not too bad. Cooling spray works pretty well, and heatsinks are even better.
The positives definitely outweigh the negatives, Id take this year's drills again any day.

I volunteered to be the person responsible for the electronics and raised my hand before realizing that I have had almost no electronics experience. I hope our robot turns out alright... - Blue_Mist [more]
