Re: Team 1768's 2016 Technical Notes

My bad, edited.

It is worth mentioning that while it did all come in under 120 pounds, it was tight for much of the season, going 3/16 on the side plates was a weight saver, and a large on in...

Re: How did you scale?

On the topic of a spring powered climb, I am convinced that there is potential for a constant torque spring solution. Vuclan calls this a contorque motor. It can be seen at the bottom of this page...

Re: Team 1768's 2016 Technical Notes

The 4 main plates that make up the frame were 0.25" aluminum (edit: the outside plates were actually 3/16" thick for weight). 0.25" plates support bearings very nicely. Additionally given the rough...

Re: How did you scale?

This past season with 1768 we used a 2 stage telescopic elevator for scaling. My favorite part of the mechanism was the fact that the entire thing, was driven by just one motor. The climbing sequence...

Re: Let's Talk About Your Team's Computers

Smile Re: Let's Talk About Your Team's Computers

I did up 3 computer for 1768 for the 2016 season. Until the 2016 season the team had used the school's computers, the specs were depressing. We were continuously waiting for models to catch up after...
