a detail shot of the top of the Cheesy Poof's lifter mechanism. the bearings, pulleys and stages of the lifter can be seen.

Sweet. That really is a neat linear bearing system. Where do you get the rollers?
Color me impressed.

Are the pieces that hold the bearings milled aluminum? I'm curious to know if it's possible to use a 3d printer to make them out of ABS plastic in a way that is perhaps as strong as aluminum. For a single stage lift I'd conjecture the stresses on those parts aren't too high when the lift is up under normal conditions, but I wonder about shock loading while the lift is up.

what impressed me the most was how they managed to fit so many simple and reliable systems together to form one large complex robot that preformed beautifully. each sub system (the roller finger, the lifter, the claws, the launcher) was incredibly simple and well designed for it's purpose. Then they managed to get each one to fit together perfectly within that 3ft by 4ft by 5 ft box! definitely well thought out and well planned. even the flag holder was elegantly incorporated into the rest of the design.

Does anyone have a pic of the launcher portion or can tell how it works, thanks
