It's the tube that the Princess used to deflect the troopers ray gun blasts in the movie Spaceballs!

Big Mike still lives.Below is a picture of him playing with an old prototype in the shop this week. But even he can't resist the pictured device. Your hypothesis is pretty good- the device does stop the machine from eating small children. BTW- those two halves of the structure pivot on axes with sensors and can open into a w-shape. And we didn't get any stains on it.....

w-shape huh? well since you have looked at it moving vertically one role it may be used for is trying to block the horizontal bar, but i don't believe that is nearly all it will be used for.....the nature of the curved shape could probably do a bunch of things for you, but I will just wait and see if my ideas are correct....nice job

based on its size and shape

I think its your robots rib cage

and the bot itself must be at least 30 feet tall :ahh:

time for you guys to stop what you are doing and read the manual (rules)

FIRST doesnt have an 'unlimited' class!

They should. We would see some amazing machines.

Stainless doesn't always imply heavy...
 
There are a lot of thin wall stainless tubes there. You can easily find them in 1.5 OD with .035 walls. These tubes would be strong like bull but only weigh about 1/2 lbs per foot.

Steel is basically 3 times heavy, but it is also 3 times stiffer and 3 times as high of a yeild strength (i.e. 3 times stronger).

Steel (stainless or otherwise) can be a good choice.

I don't use very much on the robots I have a say about, but I don't know what their machine is supposed to do...

Oh No :ahh: 3 times heavy? :ahh: 3 times stiffer? :ahh: This might end up being a muder machine, a higher version of evil machine :ahh:

Big Mike has decided to go out for the local semi-pro football team and this is his facemask.

Do I win?
