Re: Minibot climb rate
Light switch also seems vague.
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=... t:429,r:7,s:0 http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...ZNCpHRGzXlZwFe The latter seems more useful, but seems less "standard." How much can we take the switch apart? If all we need is the mechanism, can we tear away at the innards? |

Re: Minibot climb rate
You haven't even approached non-standard light switches. I'm busy pondering whether they think three way light switches are "common" or not. Cause it sure would be nice to reverse those motors.

Re: Minibot climb rate
why would you want to be able to run them backwards?

Re: Minibot climb rate
Makes for easy/gentle retrieval if you allow your robot to climb back down to the base to patiently await you!

Re: Minibot climb rate
What JB said. If I can put a lightweight system on there to reverse the motors, I don't have to put on a robust retrieval system. Nor do we have to cart a reachin' stick out on the field after every match to get our minibot down. Mind you, we don't have our kit yet. The motors might backdrive quick enough that opening the circuit is adequate. I'd just like to keep my options open.

Re: Minibot climb rate
You don't think the Field Staff will be using them as benches during long timeouts?

Re: Minibot climb rate
Yeah, standing on the base will probably get a team member a good dope slap from a ref.

My house has several 3-way switches so mounted, I bought them at Lowes, so they're OK to use. |
