I want the monster "import"... why didnt it make the stack?

Why no Red Bulls? You could just give a Red Bull to a hook at the beginning of every match so it could fly up to the bar.

That base looks like a certain 343 t-shirt launcher. I knew we should have built another one of those this year.:rolleyes:

I love it!

Are those $9 Harbor Freight wheels? Chief Delphi 2004 used 6 of those bad dads in Raising the Bar. It was an awesome climber. Yours should be too.

Good Luck.

With inflation I think they are 12 bucks now.

glad to see our thinking is on the same level being a team in the late 2000's. how did you deal with the issues of attaching the sprockets to the small diameter of the bike wheel hubs?

Re: pic: 107 Teaser #1
 

I don't know how team 107 does it but in 2004 using similar wheels we managed to find a way to interface to the hub that was pretty robust.

There was a section near the hub that was "cored out" in plastic injection molding speak. Basically they needed to install webs in the part to keep from having a big wad of hot plastic in the part (plastic parts like to have constant sections to help the flow of the molten plastic, but also to keep from having "sink marks" where the cooling (and therefore shrinking) inside of the part pulls in the outside of the part away from the wall of the mold. Anyway, this webbing made a perfect torque interface.

It looked a bit like this hub.

We had to lathe up a hub with the right dimensions then we made cuts in the hub that transferred torque to the webbing (and therefore the wheel).

It sounds harder than it was.

I hope this help if you need cad file just yell. they are held on with a castle nut and clip no tools need to change a wheel. Wait till you see the cool hub caps.:yikes:
