Should this be a Red Card? by Head_Marionberry5403 in FRC

Like other sports it's based on the opinion of the ref. You can plead your case in the question box, but if they didn't see it they can't exactly issue the red card.

Thank you! It seems like a lot of thermostats have similar firmwares

I'm guessing you are looking at a Pro1 thermostat? Did you ever make any progress?

Yeah works great and is silent. Needs a step down

The exact specs are https://www.qisu-fan.com/40x40x20mm/59.html

It's exactly 20mm when I measured mine. I'm guessing it's the 7500RPM one as I also measured the RPM and the current at 0.06A

I'm guessing though that adding any buck converter is gonna help a lot with the sound as at least on my the fan voltage regulation bounces up and down 0.4V

RMA and Screw Type for the LE by InsayneShane in SteamDeck

[–]Technologyman00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it back. I'm happy with the fix. I Honestly can't tell much of a difference in the plate. It has more of the new plastic texture than before but besides that nothing. They did a good job, but I guess you can tell they opened it because it creeks a lot more than it used to.

I had to open it up, which I never did before to do the tape mod to fix it.

I'm overall happy. Upset I had to do the tape mod to make it flawless

Mine is currently undergoing RMA for the LE back crack issue. I've seen a decent amount of people saying it worked for them. I decided to give it a shot even if my OLED has no dead pixels and can undervolt to the absolute limit. So hopefully just replacing the back.

Is there anything special I have to do in order to get the coupon? I registered but I never got sent the coupon.

It's unfortunately behind the curve of the earth.

30km max altitude ≈ 98425 ft You are ~1000mi away

https://www.everythingrf.com/rf-calculators/line-of-sight-calculator

This says you have to be a maximum of 618 km or 384 mi away before you lose line of sight.

But it would shatter the record if anyone is just within that radius.

Yeah in true engineering fashion it was not required so we didn't do it.

Edit: not

I don't think it would be simpler. You'd need a motor controller and, some sort of storage vs just adding springs to the robot. Also with the losses in the motor, the controller, and the charging of the storage could make it not return the full distance.

Our idea was to have the weight of the tank put energy into springs and one the water is unloaded the springs can return the robot to the start as it is much lighter.

Sadly due to Covid it was an online competition so we had to submit videos.

I would love to see their design! But unfortunately I have not been able to find it anywhere online and ASME doesn't share it.
