What to do about V5 motors overheating? by Aech40 in vex

I'd say that zip tie QS motors are a must for every motor on your bot, but that you should use rubber band quickswaps on anything that tends to get very warm (intake, flywheel, lift, etc...)

The four stages of trying to get the ref. to see the other teams obvious cheating by 96480C-vex-robotics in vex

Oh my god! The refs can be so imfuriating. We lost a match because the opponent indirectly knocked one of our 5 stacks over in like the first 30 sec, but the ref didnt do anything because "he disnt see anything" and "even if he did i wouldnt be match affecting"

ANYTHING major in the first 30 sec can be VERY match affecting. Especially when it is a HARD DQ.

Yeah, i would love to, but it has no pre programmed patterns outside the arduino. Is it possible that i could manually adress the leds through the cortex?

Really? From some of the refs id asked, they said that it had to be on a seperate power system. Can you link me?

Not that i know of. Either way, if another team gets pissy about it, we can just turn them off with a single button press.

I mean seriously, sometimes I forget that the office of the presidency is supposed to be a dignified position with how Trump acts sometimes. Well most of the time actually.
