box structural connections i.e standoff to metal and metal to metal. things that don’t withstand stress don’t need to be boxed

@@ryan4253b i see, is it fine if i use a standoff for screw boxing on the top instead of another hex nut

Check out how to use multithreading. I have the lift and chassis run in separate threads so they can run at the same time

yup

Controller input is disabled for any stage before driver when your controller is plugged into the match control system. You can technically write another program to select in driver control then write the results to the file, but that’s another project for someone else to complete.

@@ryan4253b or before you connect the controller in to the match cable, you select and run the program.

yes you can you can also use the gps sensor

@@user-wo9pj8dv8qhow would you use that?

they are legal

On the HS gears, just use a circle insert.

You would cut into the metal core

Well, the main reason here is what with this mounting method, it is impossible to fully flatten out the gear face. The lathe would otherwise go through the screw and the gear would likely be damaged in the process. You can flatten out the center using a belt sander afterwards - this would work as long as you do it in short intervals to make sure the metal core don't heat up and melt the plastic. As you have said, it is somewhat rare where you will need a gear that doesn't have the core intact - you can build a 3 wide drivetrain with the core, and I've personally never needed a gear where the entire face needs to be flattened out. Leaving the core also benefits from the extra stability and the ability to use the new shaft inserts. This method would also work with steel pinions and 24T gears. Just make sure to go slowly and apply oil as you are cutting through steel instead of plastic.

you prolly alr know but makes your drive so much better and easier to build

better free spin for wheels also better joints

go to bed

Yes, the chassis can become out of square over time. As for a quick fix, loosen all the bracings and align the chassis using shoulder screw and 5 wides again, then tighten the bracings and remove the 5 wides. It is however easier to ensure that misalignments don't happen in the first place by having a well structured and supported robot. Note that this technique also applies to structures outside of the chassis. Here is a pic of me using the same technique to square my robot's towers. cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/594335615361875991/1129425104695218276/IMG_5487.jpg
