nice catch on the metals. This photo is in the orientation which it was taken.

Greg, this part looks very similar to a part on our robot. I like the way you think. :) Hopefully this similar strategy will only be employed by our two robots. Can't wait to see it in action. Maybe Art can post some pics of our rendition of this! Btw, how is your shaft handling the cantilevered load?

Hey, looks like part of your drive system, maybe to rotate the wheels 360 degrees?

Is it a mechanism that rotates a ramp to a level position as a platform? An arm that's held from the top of the robot instead of the bottom, though I wouldn't know why?

BEN

The shaft is 1018 hardened steel that has been turned into a "T" by welding a part to it, so most of the load is not on the end of the shaft......it works fine :D

I am wondering at what point I should post the real picture...maybe tomorrow.
