Nice clean packaging. Very elegant.
The bumpers - is that one unit that is replaced? I can't imagine a red skirt on that keeping tight. |

Interesting concept, can you talk to the configuration of your pneumatics system, air tank placement, solenoid selection. It appears to be two 3/4" cylinders by 8" Stroke, are they double acting or spring return and what stroke? Any video of the shooter itself? Thanks.

I don't have video of it, but tune in to Palmetto to see it in action. |
Re: Garnet Squadron 4901 Presents: Sandstorm III
Beautiful machine! Elegant and simple and I can't wait to watch Palmetto this weekend. It seems like every team this year is building something awesome!

Great looking robot.
What type gearing is on the main arm ? |

Air tank placement: This robot is hell for packaging, and that just happened to be the most logical place to mount them. There wasn't any other mounting surface that was out of the way yet still low enough to clear the low bar. Solenoid selection: These solenoids were lying around after we converted Sandstorm II from a pneumatic lift to a chain-driven lift at Orlando. They're McMaster 6425K11 according to my records, which is a pretty proven choice when you want that air out in a hurry. Cylinders: Double-acting. Normally I'd sweat the air consumption, but there's enough time between shots that our air compressor is in good shape topping up. Video: Sure! |

Nice slow motion shooting video !
Does your arm have a locking system to account for gear slop ? |

(Now, are all those notches where they need to be? Ask me after Palmetto. :rolleyes: ) |
Re: Garnet Squadron 4901 Presents: Sandstorm III
That battery placement is pretty #cringetastic :D
