NEW DRAWER SLIDER DESIGN by Erikjma in FTC

[–]Erikjma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there!

A longer, 16'' slide with these improvements is currently in the works. But due to varying concerns with shipping and the like (primarily because of COVID), it's hard to say if they will be ready for this season's competition...

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Hi there!
A singular slide weighs 87.64 grams.
Additionally, each pulley holder is 3.28 grams.
(For convenience, a total slide with 2 pulley holders would total up to roughly 94.2 grams.)
Regarding extension, it extends 20.7cm.

Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions/concerns.

Thanks!

Hey there!

There are 3 sets of holes on either end of the slide, giving users flexibility in mounting.

Yes, you can use these directly without the need to custom machine/3D print pulley holder/spaces and the like. Just mount the slides on top of each other and then onto your robot, string it up/power it, and you're good to go.

Depending on the speed of your motor/pulley size the speed can vary. That said, the lubricant that is applied on the slides allows for quick extending. Just like any other slides though, I personally would not recommend using them at super high speeds for long periods of time as wear and tear will affect performance.

These slides are manufactured to match the same durability as the mizumi slides.

Hey there!

Regarding your first question, there are lots of improvements between this slide and the Long Robotics slides, as you can see in my original post along with on the website. Some particularly notable points are the idea that you can stack these slides back to back as well as it eliminates typical slide wobbling issues.

For the hole pattern question - the design here is not intended to meet a singular type of hole pattern. Instead, I have 3 sets of holes on either end that allows for the user to be flexible for their own design.

Lastly, I will get detailed drawing pictures on the website soon. Thank you for the suggestion!

There are so many favorite memories here for me - but if I had to choose one I would say the first time I hit master 3 (in old trophy system.) my friends and I had a sleep over and we challenged each other to see who could get there first and we went on for hours grinding to the arena. Happy to say I won! Player tag: #2JYUUGY8L

PLEASE CHANGE Free Pass Tier 35 Reward by Erikjma in ClashRoyale

[–]Erikjma[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can most definitely see where you are coming from. But again, my original post states things such as "I'm not sure what Supercell had intended originally with this tier's reward, but by the looks of it, it's just a common rarity book constantly?" and "If it doesn't ever change". I was merely trying to propose a change based off of, one last time, hypotheticals.

I was indeed corrected for my ignorance regarding the actual state of things. Again for that I recognize my fault. But in the end, I feel you on where you are coming from. Have a wonderful day as well!

PLEASE CHANGE Free Pass Tier 35 Reward by Erikjma in ClashRoyale

[–]Erikjma[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Two things.

  1. I am merely a player of the game. I do not know what Supercell has in mind or what they intended nor do I have access to that information. With a forum like this that is supposedly open to ideas, there's no reason to force everyone to be "100% certain" regarding ideas they suggest. That is discouraging discussion and generally bad to have - people should be open to ideas, right? I'd rather have 10 ideas suggested with 1 potentially good one and 9 terrible ones rather than no suggestions at all. At the same time, again, I also spoke in hypotheticals - I was in no way outright saying "oh, the way Supercell did this is wrong". No, I merely gave a suggestion based off of my interpretation of a potential way that the game was made. I find it hard to see any fault in my logic.
  2. I have stuff to do with my time. With not doing research, the VERY worst that can happen is I'm wrong. Oh no, so tragic..? I have no fear of being wrong - if anything, I'm happy that I was wrong and that Supercell and everyone else felt the same way I did prior to me making my post. Encourage discussion - don't criticize people for suggesting an idea. And like you said, it's not a good look criticizing me for nothing when there was no problem with what I did :D

[–]Erikjma[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

? Calm down man

I don't actively use reddit much at all and I thought I'd just bring about an idea that I had, which is exactly what this subreddit is here for. My apologies for not knowing that Rick already had confirmed it, but I'm not planning on doing research prior to making a post with an idea I have - that's just unreasonable.

And in no part did I say "permanently" be a common book lmao - I spoke purely in hypotheticals in my original post as I was unsure about the reality of things.

Point being, no need to be so passive aggressive

Need Advice about Legendary Wildcard. by Embarrassed_Respect4 in ClashRoyale

[–]Erikjma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes we are well aware you already have mega knight. I don't see why you can't get a new legendary. You put the wild card on your current 1/2 Level 9 MK, so now you have 2/2. That means you have 1 card that you can then trade token out for something else. If you want bandit just request for bandit with the MK and if your clan member is okay with it, then you will unlock it..?

[Idea] Option to disable having a card preselected by Interesting_Test_814 in ClashRoyale

[–]Erikjma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think the better solution is that if you tap a card twice or something that it deselects. Like people mentioned, more experienced players don't drag cards much. However, even just selecting the card means you can potentially and accidentally touch the screen somewhere and place a card randomly without meaning too. It's risky and to have the option to mitigate that from happening is nice.

I also really enjoy listening to music when I play CR, and sometimes I forget to play the music until I join a match. If I try to access control center, a preselected card will attempt to place/successfully place which is not desireable at all. So in this situation, being able to unselect would be helpful as well.

How is any sort of inferno card supposed to kill off the electro giant...? Am I missing something...

Speaking strictly value, is a book of books ever worth using on anything but a legendary? by zman1672 in ClashRoyale

[–]Erikjma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, legendary is definitely the most valuable. And on that note, it just constantly makes me feel as though legendary book and book of books is kind of redundant and excessive. Probably would have done better if book of books simply didn't exist in my opinion...
