For comparison we found our custom 30A durometer urethane wheels to have about the same or slightly better traction than orange banebot wheels. The BB wheels are aerated rubber not urethane.

Re: Buying Pneumatic Rivet Gun

I don't think the CFM requirements are really as high as the instructions entail. I have the absolute crappiest compressor you can buy, rated at .7 CFM at 90 PSI (I think it was even worse in...

I've run it off our robot's pneumatic system a couple of times at competition. You will just need to add a couple air tanks and you should be fine.

You should be fine, a CNC plasma uses far more flow than a rivet gun.

Re: How to train students in SolidWorks

Re: Strongest Regionals/District 2016?

Additionally, 2056 lost 2/3rds of their non IRI off seasons. While there's a huge difference between on season and off season, they're human and have the ability to lose just like everyone else.

Re: Buying Pneumatic Rivet Gun

I takes a lot of effort but it can be done with the included wrench. What happens when air is applied currently? They usually come pre filled.

The only issue we've had with the gun is the nose...

Re: Do you think a practice robot is needed to compete?

The intention was illegal. Shafts if cut are not COTS. If the DuraOmni has been assembled with a sprocket or a hub it is no longer COTS.

Re: Building a robotics lab

A manual lathe is very often more useful than a CNC lathe in FRC. Most FRC turning operations are just cutting stock to length.
