EJ,
Or maybe 254 and 60 are making 2 robots each and sharing the fabrication load...

Possibly part of a scissors mechanism?

Re: pic: team 254 teaser

Yea i think its just thier frame, pretty much same as what they do every year. Im sure their design will be great as always, cant wait!

Re: pic: team 254 teaser
 

4 of the same chassis. 6 wheels I would guess. Looks niceeee!
Cant wait till we play you guys! I have a feeling that this year will be interesting. Hahaha don't I always get that feeling?

Or could it be a telescoping forklift-style arm?

Re: pic: team 254 teaser
 

Nope.
It's a chassis.

Re: pic: team 254 teaser
 

Again, looks great!

Quick question for 60 and 254...

what material and thickness is your frame and arm support made out of? My guess is 1" x 2" x 1/8" Aluminum Square tube? Possibly 1/16" ?

Thanks!

Another benefit of collaboration: You get answers double-fast!

Your correct Travis, it's mostly 1/16" rectangular tube with the exception of the high stress areas in the drive train which are 1/8".

By the way awesome transmision!
