Throw one and see if you hear a Steam Train Whistle!

I think Bill might be on to something...

Wish these were out for our FTC robot this year. The particles are really rigid.

I'd pay $7 each if they were black. ;)

Definitely would appreciate a more neutral color.

Emphasis mine.

We actually cut a bunch of samples over the summer in .025" increments to test this size, and found that .425" flat-to-flat is the right number for this specific profile and material combination. This number would change for a harder or thicker material, as well as a part with less holes in it.

Ok, so should we see the hex shaft removing silicone from the inside of the hex when we press it in, or should the material stretch to fit around the hex shaft?

Hmm... How sharp will the hex shaft be?

Do we round off the end of a Churro, and push that through?

Or freeze the part, then push a hex broach through it?

Re: New AndyMark Product Game Hint???

I'm curious if Thunderhex will be to round to get a good grip.

The wheel should stretch around the axle.

Re: New AndyMark Product Game Hint???

This is a great product that basically didn't exist before and is far cheaper / lighter than the previous COTS solution for this particular product. I think whining that the color isn't perfect is really not productive!

I also don't think this is, necessarily, inspired by the game. Compliant wheels have been gaining traction (heh) for years, for both intakes and shooters; for compliant game pieces or rigid ones. Did I mention the alternative was $30 on McMaster and with a hub weighed like a pound?

I'm curious to see how well these hold up at 5K RPM, and if they slip on the shaft or anything at that high of a speed.

I'm not so sure these are well suited for shooters, but time, and testing, will tell.
AM does recommend them for intakes and conveyors though.

Recommended usage...This makes for high-performance intakes and internal conveyors.

Hey meme king Wil Payne can you edit the word "trap" to "hint"?

Thanks!

I think these might be good for shooting some things. Maybe wiffle balls?

But the GDC would never do that to us, right? :confused:

That shape is disturbingly close to the blimp flying at the top of the Steamworks trailer...

2013
2014
2016
