Verification on trailer design

[kwarqs]

hi! we need a detailed diagram of the trailer hitch

we have a rectangular prism piece of metal that we're supposed to attach to the trailer and to the trailer hitch, but we can't because it seems to attach to a rounded piece of metal.

if anyone has a detailed diagram (or some input) not from the control system manual, it would be greatly appreciated.:smile:

<R18> in the Robot Manual (Section 8 of the rules) has a very detailed description and picture.

The round piece goes into the "slot" side of the piece of channel, and the pin goes vertically thru the holes in both.

Section 8 tells you all about building the robot. Be sure to read and learn the other sections, too!

To attach the TRAILER to the ROBOT, TEAMS must use a Trailer Hitch constructed from materials provided in the 2009 Kit Of Parts. Details on the construction of the Trailer Hitch are provided in Drawing “GE-09040.”

Find that drawing by going to the 2009 FIRST Robotics Competition Manual and Related Documents (http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=452) page on the FIRST web site, then clicking on the Official FIRST Drawings (http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=11624) link under Section 6 - The Arena.
