What are you using to lift others? We originally were using carbon-Fiber panels, however ours were going to make our bot' to heavy last momnet and we had to ditch them (our forklift is great though)

can you lift if you only have 1 robot on your platforms?

Re: pic: Lift this
 

Yes we can, go to the 'Robot Showcase' and see the Youtube videos. It's under 'Team THRUST (1501) 2007 robot

Awesome frame! Is it made of steel by any chance?

Re: pic: Lift this
 

The whole frame is welded chrome moly tubing. Very strong and very light.
We are using two monocoqued wings. The wings are 17 pounds each and will easily support 200+ pounds with very little flex.

Correction that is 300+...

It's not one robot but, well you'll see the point.

I assume the tubing is donated ... but what are you claiming for its value. That stuff aint cheap!!

Re: pic: Lift this
 

lol looks cool....do the two guys wiegh up to the same ammount as a bot? or did you guys just do that for fun?

Re: pic: Lift this
 

They wiehg more and we did pretty much do that for fun.

That's some very slick engineering folks. Huge kudos to your team!

Re: pic: Lift this
 

You think that stuffs expensive...we have Carbon Fiber panels! (2 of, and quadruple layered at 1 x 1 yard each)
and were not using them!

Re: pic: Lift this
 

oh my WOW, thats amazing.
any chance you'd explain to me how it works?

Re: pic: Lift this
 

That isn't expensive at all if you make it yourself, we made some carbon fiber peices for our manipulator (as to make it more durable) and it wasn't that costly.
