Old Parts
 

Any teams looking for parts to "play" with over the summer etc?

My team is moving to a different facility and are trying to clear out some of the old parts that we don't use anymore in FRC.

Parts available:
-Fisher Price Motors
-Globe Motors
-Old CIMS (old version from 2003-2005 era)
-KOP Wheels
-Lunacy Wheels
-and many more items

Email paulelathrop@gmail.org if you are interested.

No charge for items. Shipping available but not free.

What KoP wheels are you speaking of? AndyMark 6" Hi-Grip?

Could you post a more detailed list?

Just curious, but do the old CIMs mount the same way as the new ones?

Re: Old Parts
 

Haven't handled one in a while, but I think it does. The screw holes may be a little further apart...

Re: Old Parts
 

How many CIMS do you have. we've been looking to build a few demo robots that these might work for. I'll send you an email about them as well.

I was trying to setup a place on Facebook that would be helpful for teams to exchange information like this using mobile phone to snap a photo and upload it to a group. You're welcome to use this group to quickly share photos.

As far as old cims, I can count them tomorrow but there is a milk crate of them.

I, also was hoping for the return of the fisher price motor but I feel Banebot ones have replaced them well.

For wheels, I have the old gray kop wheels in 4" and 8" sizes.

I believe the holes match but just like you I haven't handled them in awhile.

I will work on a more detailed list tomorrow when I continue to pack.

I will also upload pics to the group mentioned above.

Re: Old Parts
 

my team hasnt had any problems with this

Re: Old Parts
 

Only when not used properly.

330, during my time on the team, NEVER had a problem with ours, except the one time when a programmer jammed the '05 arm into a hard stop during testing and broke the output on a gearbox (no motor stalling there). 3/5 robots used them in arm/lift applications, running through their stock gearbox before adding some extra reduction or a winch system.

2004: two FPs on a winch system pulled the robot up to the 10' bar.
2005: two FPs ran the arm. We later discovered that one would have been enough, when we inadvertently left a PWM unplugged.
2007: We didn't have enough weight for two FPs on the arm, so we only used one.

I think 2006 used BB motors instead of FPs in ball transport systems; 2003 used only 4 motors, two in drive and one of the others was a CIM.

Hi,

I am interested in doing a summer project but am on a relatively low budget. I would love to get my hands on some 4 inch wheels and some old CIMs if possible.

-Will email you

Thank you,
Robert Sarakin

Team 704 would be interested in some lunacy wheels.

Just thought I would check back in and see if there has been any updates. We're still interested in those cim motors. Would gladly pay shipping.
