what exactly is that big yellow thing?

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Our robot, of course.
Fear us.

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

It seems to me that you might need some lighting holes in your robot for it to be able to be moved out of the building. But I like the name S-110R thats kinda original

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

I think it would take more then just a few.... :) (I guess kyle's think alike :rolleyes: )

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

are those motors from the kit?
If so i think i need to tell first im missing them... lol

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

so how's much does the bot way???? and how are you guys packing it in the crate??? nice though ;)

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Well of course we're going to drill.
In fact we're giving each and every team member a drill and they are going to keep on drilling til our lead engineer tells us to stop.
The X-Cat who drills the most holes without disabling the arm gets a honeymoon sweet in Atlanta all to themselves.

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Eh, a couple a thousand pounds. ANd crate it? We're going to drive it to Atlanta.

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

So we can expect to see an X-Cats tractor trailer this year?

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

We'll check the budget (probably gonna have to sell alot of candy bars).

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Really, I doubt that's going to be on your arm. I don't know much about assembly line arms, but I do believe that there are hydraulic hoses on your arm, and I do recall there being something against hydraulics...which also upsets me...we were thinking about adding hydraulics to our old robot to make it hop and bounce around and what not like those pimped out cars. But that arm looks pretty cool, where did you get it and how much was it?

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

MMM first i think its suppose to be a joke

And i doubt they bought this or anything, its prob in the factory were they build there acutal robot

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Oh I forgot to use one of these :D .
It was "bestowed" upon us ( I prefer the term we were cursed by it's presence) and are actually trying to sell it (for $10,000 it's all yours). Our actual arm is much lighter and not as complex or expensive but with all the nutty "teasers this year I thought I'd have some fun with this. :D

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

That is a really, really old FANUC Robot model S-110R. It was one of the original electric servo motor robots. At the time they had both DC and AC versions, but i think this one is an AC servo motor robot. It was primarily used for spot welding cars.

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

I believe the GMF was for when General Motors and FANUC worked together. FANUC has very nice robots, I am using them all the time out at Oakland Community College in Auburn Hills. Pretty fun stuff :D

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

So should we lower the asking price?

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

This is a full view of the thing.

Comes with it's own control panel (the thing is about the size of a cabinet and weighs as much as a large television).

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Odd, my dad just got back from Detroit testing FANUC robots... he's an EMC Engineer.

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

H e wouldn't be interested in buying a used one would he? :D

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

I'd get it. It'd make a great conversation piece.
Person #1: "Hey, where'd you get that thing?"
Me: "Oh, I bought it. But that's not important. Watch this."
Person #1: :eek:
Me: :D

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

apparently you are having having fun

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Aint that what FIRST is all about?

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Forget gracious professionalism, let's all have fun! *adds gatling gun to robot*

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

That's the spirit!

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

i'd have though an emp would be slightly more graciously proffesional, as it wont hurt the human players...

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

A gatling gun wouldn't hurt the HPs...as long as the driver aims carefully. :D

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

or gives them bullet proof vests.

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

as like a gift from the X-Cats to you, now what calliper?

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

And i even wondered why price for life insurance raised.

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Haven't you seen the commercial? "People do stupid things." And there's no doubt in my mind about the warning labels... :D

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

hey hey i thought there was gonna be NO hydraulics :D

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

good teaser...but nobody has mentioned that the end effector looks like the vertex of a tetra. Was this intentional?

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

Its still a beautiful thing, haha.

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

This thread got more milagae than our arm and robot threads did combined! :ahh:

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

thats just sickening, and here we are 3 weeks after it was posted still saying that its illegal and its really and probably way to heavy. I wonder if anyone got the idea of it being a teaser

Re: pic: The X-Cats Killer arm design
 

:cool: Ay.......its a cool arm..............shoot i would buy it if i had "10,000 dollars" just to break other arms............and yea
