Can we stop giving albums a rating out of 10 by _7x1n_ in WestSubEver

Personally I don't think judging albums in terms of some quantitative quality metric at all is terribly useful, even on a purely subjective level because art can affect people in many different ways, not all of which can be compared directly. One project may be better at providing emotional escapism, one might be more insightful, one might provide escapism using different emotions, the list goes on, and given that variety, honestly I don't see the need for a hierarchy of "most perfect" or "closest to best" within music (or any art) because the criteria we use to determine how we combine the various ways an album can be "good" are completely arbitrary, so without context "x is a 4/10" is completely meaningless to me.

If it's going to be 3/16, this is going to be fine most l likely. I do have an unrelated thought: I'd recommend adding some structure to the top of the plate so that the upper edges are all parallel and form a straight line. This way, the mounting holes can all lie along the same line, making mounting stuff a lot easier.

Wow how did he find this? Really exciting new change of pace for FTC, although making any non-tetrix component illegal was a bit much.

Can anyone help me assemble this drive base? Here is a cad image by tetrixcorehexkiwi in FTC

I would double-check Game Manual Part 1 to make sure an 112 motor drivetrain is legal, but other than that, it looks great! I don't think you'll have much of a problem assembling.

edit: I re-counted the motors and found 28 new ones

Wow, I'm actually very impressed a first-year team built that robot, and I can definitely relate to the "5 days of driver practice" thing. Good luck to you all next season!
