C-Base Warning

[Spirator]

Hey Teams,

This is just an announcement to anyone who may be using the 2011 C-Base shipped in the KOP. The wheel mounting holes on ours aren't centred along the frame which makes our wheels tilt on one side and elevated on the other.

We tested out our drive base today, which we saw no prevalent issues with until we fired her up and realised that the drive wheel on one side had no traction. When we looked at it in the workshop, we noticed that one of the wheels was tilted and the other side was elevated.

I just checked the assembly instructions and saw no warning of this which lead to us having to rebuild our robot tonight, but this is just a slight alert to prevent this from happening to other teams.

You'll want to make sure all the holes are lined up either all high, or all low depending on how elevated you want your wheels to be.

Keeping an eye out,
3132.
