Re: pic: It's All About the Hook
 

6 hooks aye? .. if 1-5 fail 6th time is a charge I guess? lol

I can't wait to see your gripper mechanism it looks like it'll be pretty cool

Re: pic: It's All About the Hook
 

We are cool like that...


...LOL, just kidding.



One of our mentors owns American Aircraft (an airplane part making company, very technical terms of course).

The parts for the hooks were water jetted, i believe. Each hook is two parts that fit together like puzzle pieces, we are welding them right now so they are each one strong unit.

Re: pic: It's All About the Hook
 

Yes...I'll take one, it will fit perfectly on our robot. Please thank the machinist.

j/k lol. very cool.

I think they serve as spares. Also, there are three different thicknesses there based on weight and/or structure needs.

Going shark fishing? :p

Are you going to attach the hook to an arm on the robot or do you have some other means to deliver the hook to the bar?

Re: pic: It's All About the Hook
 

Man, all we've got is a couple bicycle holder hooks. By the way, the bar's 2", right?

What are you talking about mary... Dan's ALWAYS been cool!! :cool:

Re: pic: It's All About the Hook
 

The hook will be attached to the end of our arm. We will deliver it to the bar with the arm, and then pull ourselves up (there will be a steel cable running to our robot) with a Fisher-Price motor and a ratchet.
