Thanks for the file! We’ll be doing some experimenting.
Machine Learning
This is us testing the wheel friction on our drive. It appears we might have pushed the robot a little too hard…
Hitting the wall bent our front ring guards into the wheels. We had to unbend them before the front wheels would spin as easily again. Our mistake.
watching it hit the wall kind of makes me flinch.
At least the friction is low
Better now than in a match - well done! checking out your robot structure - rolls well - a little veer to the left, really good. I wish more teams would do more such tests of the structures. Also improving design based on test.
How does this keep happening? My team has basically just been abusing our mogos for months now and nothing like this has happened.
you have to hit them in just the right way so it’s not that easy to do, but it does seem to be a problem with them.
It definitely seems like that spot of the mogo could have been designed a bit better so as to not break so frequently but it probably isn’t too much of an issue since it seems hard to do.
For those who are unlucky enough to have it happen, have you found a fix for it?
Sorry for the off-topic comment
no, not really. Those posts take a lot of beating, much more than I think any simple solution would withstand.
Can’t go wrong with J-B Weld, that stuff is crazy strong. If applied correctly, it is definitely strong enough to fix the goal. I might recommend roughing up the two areas up with 100 grit sandpaper first, although that is not required.
Well, it does look pretty frictionless
Funny story, we actually used one of these
Where? How? 20 characters
That’s impossible
It goes all the way into the motor with nothing poking out
Its the size of the width of a gear
How???
