This cracks me up.
Also, it's one of the most realistic CAD models I've ever seen.
Props for a beautiful render.

Powered by Arc Reactor?

It also uses pancake motors.

hmmm... I think I can make it work...

It'd be a lot better if it didn't have mecanums

Don't forget the insulation for the Crio. What a great job rendering! Very nice detail.

Re: pic: Minimalist Robot Concept
 

Where did you find the CAD for the new cRIO? I haven't been able to find one anywhere, despite the fact that our team already has 2 of the physical units :/

Re: pic: Minimalist Robot Concept
 

The render was done it Creo (formerly known as Pro/E.)

We built the cRIO model ourselves. We guessed at some dimesions based on the old cRIO and scaled photographs posted on CD. On Tuesday, we got our cRio so we measured it and adjusted all the dimensions.

I did a render with just the cRIO but it looked kinda sad and lonely by itself. On a whim, I stuck wheels under it.

Re: pic: Minimalist Robot Concept
 

I think you are using to many wheels

Re: pic: Minimalist Robot Concept
 

Can you please post a .step of the 4 Slot cRIO? I guarantee the CD community would thank you greatly.

Re: pic: Minimalist Robot Concept
 

I have already added it to our teams part library. I did a bit of searching on the NI website. You can find the cRio on the NI website search for cRIO-9075

I will get a link when I find it again.

You call that minimalist? With no weight-reduction holes drilled into the chassis? :rolleyes:

Nice, and thanks for the cRio link.

Re: pic: Minimalist Robot Concept
 

Spread the chassis rails apart so the cRio can drop between them. That way the robot will work upside down and right side up......

Not enough wheels....

Re: pic: Minimalist Robot Concept
 

Mecanum wheels don't work very well upside down.
