Art, I must say that whoever did the design work put a lot of time into it. And it looks very nice. Good luck this season.

Very nice looking!
Reminds me of the 2006 254 robot. :) |

Although I really have to thank our team machinist (Gary Morin) and our team's CNC sheet metal sponsor (R&D Precision) for turning around so many parts this year. Gary has been working almost non-stop at nearly every team meeting for the last four weeks fabricating parts on our lathe and mill (our school's insurance policy unfortunately forbids students under 18 from operating the lathe or mill), while the students have been prototyping ideas and making all the non critical +/- 1/16" or +/- 1/8" parts and assembling the robots.

Awesome CAD as usual, its stuff that a lot of us look up to.
Keep up the awesome designs! edit: wait there's pneumatics....care to explain or will we just have to see? |
Re: pic: GUS Team 228's 2009 Robot Render
NICE, beautiful render, and fully detailed cad, excellent work

Another interesting bit of information about our 2009 robot: we only have six 1/4-20 screws on the entire robot*. Four are on the two pneumatic cylinders (because the rear pivot and clevis both use Ø.25 clearance hole), and two are on the trailer hitch. We used to almost exclusively use 1/4-20 due to it's availability at Home Depot, however a #10/32 screw is about 58.3% of the weight of a 1/4-20 screw. (That adds up fast when using steel fasteners).
There's a lot more interesting details, some visible in the render, some purposely suppressed, that will be released in due time. If you stop by our pit (at CTR or Championships), we'll have a lot more information about the interesting features of the robot, although most likely I won't be in the pits much due to event volunteering. Eventually I'll also have the students post the CAD models and drawings on the team website. * Everything else is #10/32 socket cap head (most common) or button head, or #8/32 button head. Quote:
As for their function, that's up to you to figure out. ;) |

It flips down to help funnel balls to the shooter! I think...

Loving the Sick Render Art and whatz the weight, looks macho heavy senor.

90 lbs without compressor and control system that is still a ton weight to add. Just my two cents. Plus extra mounts.

After just finishing several more renders, it appears I forgot to set some of the components in PhotoWorks, like the front chassis rail and the timing belt sprockets. Anyway, a different angle of the front of the robot.
![]() P.S. Does anyone know a really good way to run real roller chain in SolidWorks (especially with different size sprockets)? I know you can do linear and circular patterns, but it's just so much easier to make a belt-like loop and override the mass properties to the correct weight (#25 pitch chain is .090 lbs/ft). I'll switch to real chain if an easy way exists. Quote:
When we weighed in, we were at 99.5 pounds. Adding the other ten pounds of parts still to be installed, and we're still ten under. And the mounting for everything weighs almost nothing, as we're using 1/16" polycarbonate with 3/4" x 3/4" x 0.050"-wall aluminum angle with lots of rivets for making everything. Incredibly lightweight and strong. |

Arthur - and Team GUS,
This is just a beautiful model. Congratulations. I won't get a chance to see you in CT for I will be in Manchester, Atlanta and SolidWorks is a sponsor for Boston. Between FIRST, BOTS-IQ and others - I spend alot of weekends at Robot events. I know you and your team will do well. Best wishes. Marie |
