Systems

Some Ideas

  • Ball sensor upgrade
  • Upgrade IGBTs, since we seem to be running more current through them than they are rated for...
  • Using hall effect sensors to eliminate encoders
  • All onboard processing
  • Move back to a kicker board design similar to the 2008 design (except with chipping, efficiency, and durability upgrades)
  • Make stuff easier to be transported safely (e.g. to competitions)...
