It's a new minibot alignment system (at least that's my guess) :D

This is gonna be the coolest swerve in the West.:rolleyes:
Is that bracket also going to be reinforced with welding on the frame, or is the bracket enough? Looking good! |

Could this be a corner of a chassis? :eek:

Re: pic: FRC973 offseason teaser #5
Looks like the corner to a chassis but the giant hole has me guessing a simple bumper mount. What are the thicknesses of the metal?

Probably not legal, but it would be cool if this robot could deploy 2 mini-bots simultaneously.

Am I right in assuming there is another one of these brackets on the underside of this assembly?
We've been building frames like this for the past few years now and we really like how they turn out. In terms of getting an extremely square and accurate frame, I haven't found a better way. The nice thing with this as well, is that while welding usually isn't necessary after final construction, if you do decide to weld, the frame is already jigged together for you. -Brando |

All the cool teams use 1/4" Rivets.

Brandon, the lower gusset is actually our .125 thick full size bellypan. This year we had the bellypan and an internal block, no upper gusset. A student pointed out we should try an upper gusset for our 6wd instead, and it turned out to be obviously a lot simpler and easier to make. The internal blocks are a pain to fabricate.

Looking forward to seeing the completed assembly. Quote:

Some welded powder coated robots frames show cracks in the welds by the end of the season after some hard matches. |

A crack on the powder was a great indication that the weld COULD be a problem. I am just saying that with the riveted solution, a cracked weld is NEVER a problem! |
Re: pic: FRC973 offseason teaser #5
Gotcha.
Anyways, super cool looking brackets. |
