This is just another toy in a series of toys i make down in the shop when we aren't in season. I thought i would make it for our safety captain when he fell in love with a small chair that i put 4 casters on.

Do you remember the couch that was motorized at SVR, 2007? There's a picture of it somewhere on CD, I know it... 'scratches head' We've always wanted to put a detachable seat on our 2007 robot, as it is very compact and flat with an arm in front. Nicely built, sturdy extruded aluminum. I wonder if the seat ever gets uncomfortable, though.

our 2004 robot was a massive brick of a drivetrain, with a nice flat top. so one of our members grabbed the control board and started driving it while sitting on top of it. it was awesome!

I already feel sorry for those Banebot Trannies, and I haven't even seen it move yet... I'm not so sure those will hold up too well with the cantilevered load. Let us know how they turn out.

*Suddenly wants to mount chair to 2005 Stack Attack robot* :ahh:

Nice motorized furniture. I'm hoping you have the plastic seat to go with that chair frame... :]

So... I'm having a thought here... anyone who's looking for a senior design project on flocking in college. Make a suite of family room furniture (like a map table, a couch, and an end table) and make them flock as one unit (stay stationary realtive to eachother as a master object (probably couch) moves relative to the ground).

Cool stuff!
