145 + Glue =awesome?
Our frame now is tougher then Chuck Norris. All thanks to Mr. Epoxy who is married to Mrs. Rivets.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I would like to thank Mr. Wolf and Norwich Glass for doing this for us. Oh and the mentor who to the pics, I'm not sure who it is =P. |
Re: 145 + Glue =awesome?
Looks great ... but it looks awfully low. Do you have enough clearence for the center structure supports?
|
Re: 145 + Glue =awesome?
we sure hope so, i have seen bots a lot lower then that.

Re: 145 + Glue =awesome?
Way to not do it yourself... you better hope you dont have to change anything... and thats not really going to make your robot any stronger,it will still flex as much as if it was bolted together, you just wont be able to take it apart now... have fun!

The weak spots on a frame are it's corners, make them stronger then the frame as a whole will be. The drive train has been tested, our lift fits on it great, and everything is just right. So there shouldn't be a need to take it a part. |
Re: 145 + Glue =awesome?
I must be missing something here. Why are you using black goo to join your frame members as opposed to something such as say, bolts? What is that stuff anyhow?
|
Re: 145 + Glue =awesome?
Well those teams suck and they should be kicked out, not that they could enforce that... and the corners are not the weakest spot they have 2 to 3 layers of metal unlike the sides which are long and only 1 layer, unless you varied from the default layout a lot.... i sure hope your right when you say it fits cause it would really suck if you had to take it apart...

if you tighten bolts theyll be fine, depending on how much stress you put on the frame epoxy will crack, it usually shatters like glass only with a lot of stress though, im sure the epoxy will work fine it will just suck ifi you make any mistakes

Keep that in mind as you explore the wealth of information that's available here. Not only do other students see what you write, but mentors, sponsors and FIRST personnel as well. Do unto others and all that. |
Re: 145 + Glue =awesome?
i only make remarks at the teams that have there robot fabricated by someone else(that to me is cheating and defeats the whole purpose of this team activity) , i was trying to figure out why this team would use epoxy when bolts are readily available, then when the team said why i explained the epoxy does break and that properly tightened bolts should not come lose. i'm not being mean, i'm being curious and realistic

I'm curious as to why you don't get your frame welded, it's stronger then epoxy and bolts togther, you dont have any bolts to lose, and you wouldn't believe how much weight you'd save not using bolts. Becides if you're sure enough of your frame design to epoxy it togther you'd be sure enough to weld it, because grinding off the weldded joints would probabally be a compareable ammount of work to that of removing all that epoxy.
