I've always wondered how the 233 telescope system works... now is as good a time as any I suppose:

1. What slides against what? (bearings on a track, grooved wheels?)
2. How is it extended/retracted? (cable? rack and pinion?)
3. How much overlap is there between the sections at maximum extension?

Wer'e not particularly focused on a telescoping system for 2011, i'm just curious... :)

Well that wasn't so hard.

Can I borrow it?

Does it pick up the other two shapes as well as it picked up the tubes in 07? =)

Slap on some bumpers, and I think you might have it.

Haha, you actually think that'll make it to the finals of Einstein?? Good joke.

:) Much love for the 233 bots.

Is this a joke?

Yes, that is their 07 robot. They were finalists on Einstein.

Probably on the bottom side of that nice pivoting arm they have. They telescope it backwards to deploy.

:p:p

Yes, I do.

XD Our '07 robot is almost entirely disassembled, so it looks like it's back to the drawing board :D

Re: pic: Team 233 robot for 2k11
 

Heh. And OUR '07 robot performed horribly, so it's back to the drawing board for us, too...:yikes:

We are using ours as a counter-example! :cool:
