In case you're worried, I was pointing out a common spelling mistake with Woodie's name. (IE, & not Y)

I know & have met & talked with Dr. Woodie Flowers on mutiple occasions & have been humbled by his words & presence on every one of those occasions. :)
He does a great job of "keeping it real" with whatever he talks about, no matter how random.

THOSE WHEELS LOOK COOL BUT WILL IT WEIGH ALOT.

THAT IS AMAZING I WONDER WHAT THAT BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF MY KEYBOARD LABELED "CAPS LOCK" DOES. Oh yeah, it makes my writing legible and more easily understood. Huh, whodathunk?


Back on topic, what's the estimated weight on these? I was debating a version of this myself, but the weight in my design was, well... Prohibitive, to say the least.

Craig, is it really a necessity to be so demeaning and sarcastic over something so trivial? Huh? There are millions of forums out there where people are rude for the superficial satisfaction they receive from it, however, to my knowledge, this has never been one of them. If you insist on correcting someone's poor CD caps-lock skills, at least be kind about it.
Just a thought...

I think riding on this robot would be something like riding a washing machine... :ahh:

4 of those and the control system should leave you about enough extra weight to hold the whole thing together with a single zip tie. Make it happen I say.

Great Idea! Our team had it too, but it is not legal.

There WILL be a point where one of the required wheels makes contact with the floor at an angle that is not in the correct, required orientation.

Re: pic: 1902 Teaser 09
 

see THAT is EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED!

somebody make a petition to make First change the rule!!!:ahh:

Re: pic: 1902 Teaser 09
 

haha sweet 701 was planning the same thing till we read the rule on wheel orientation....:D

Re: pic: 1902 Teaser 09
 

Oh my goodness I almost forgot about that. Bring one with you just for kicks and giggles. (:

Re: pic: 1902 Teaser 09
 

"required orientation"
did any one ASK Q and A about that cuz i am not sure that these cant be used.from the way i read it that would be like running the wheels on it's side not just on a angle like that? if no one has taken it to Q and A i may bring it up. ty plz get back to me
