Green light Case
 

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where can I find the pdf file which has the measurements of the green light box, with the drawing and everything?
Thanks,
Carmel

You can find it on the FIRST website with all of the other drawings for teams here.

Also, A hint: If you don't want to use solid aluminum (like it specifies), just line the box you make with aluminum foil. You'll get a similar brightness level to that of the pure aluminum.

Thanks!
That's exactly what I was looking for
Thanks for the hint
:)

EDIT:
Now that I look at this, it looks as if the casing is something we should have got in the kit of part.
is it?
or we need to built this one?

you get the cold cathodes and the front lens in the kit......you have to build the rest from tinfoil covered wood or aluminum.

Alright,
How do you power this thing?
while it out of the box, no problem, 12 volt power source, but when in the closed box?

Re: Green light Case
 

i would make a terminal block on the inside of the box. then wire all of the CCs to that and then attach a length of wire from the terminal block to a battery or even better a 12v power supply (old computer power supply):) also dont forget t add ventilation holes in the box.....the CCs and their transformers will get warm.:ahh:

and what's the aluminum angle (#26)
Thanks,

How many lights do you need to put in the box? We only have 4. The drawing shows putting 8 lights in it.

Some kid last year thought the lights were to make the robot look like a low rider.

there should be 8 light, in 4 boxes (2 in each, duh)

Re: Green light Case
 

We just velcro'd the CC's to a block of wood. Used a peice of black plastic (The 80/20 stuff) as the back, and used the wood as standoffs for the lights. Then I used standoffs (similar to those in your computer holding the motherboard, but longer) to hold the HDPE lens away from the CCs. It's pleanty bright, the camera sees it fine. No alum. foil involved :)
