Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
This is an unfortunately familiar sight...3 fried digital sidecars in 1 regional.

Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
You gotta stop doing that, but I see what you meant when you said that this one was really burnt.
|
Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
I haven't seen one as badly burnt throughout my experiences.

Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
Have you tried keeping metal shavings out of the digital sidecar to see if it improves performance and reliability?
|
Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
Think of all the weight you would save not storing your metal shavings in you sidecar. Your robot would go faster with the lighter weight.:rolleyes:

At least you wont need it for competition next year. ;)

Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
And if the sidecar doesn't burn out, one component won't work so you search the robot for the problem only for it to be one little piece between two pins.

Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
And this is why we have to keep mechanical away from the robot!

Consider mounting all your electronics upside down or sideways to prevent collection.

Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
We always kept a thin blanket and a vacuum around the shop and the pits to cover our electronics and then use the vacuum near the drill to collect all of the shavings to prevent this kind of thing.

Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
I say we should have no electronics! we will innovate a way to do so!

Almost as bad as sand in the gearboxes. These are thing things I cry about at night by the way.

I don't know about you but we tend to place our random piles of sand outside of the metal shop. |
Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
The same as putting gears in the sandbox I think?

Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
At one district event my team got a metal shaving in ours and we couldn't figure out why nothing was working... Luckily it didn't get fried
|
Re: pic: when metal shavings met digital sidecar
We have done that twice now. Now we cover all the electronics, or even remove them, when ever we are cutting metal on our robot.
