Re: pic: Almost Finished

WOW! Thanks for all the comments and questions! Starting at the top...

Waiting on editor to put video together to post to YouTube so they are coming soon. Have video of it working although controls are super sensitive right now (adjusting sensitivity in programing as we speak).

We take the comparisons as a huge compliment so thank you!

Specs:
For the arm:
1/4 inch aluminum

4 Banebots:
256:1 2x
64:1 1x
4:1 1x (claw)

Big sprockets, little sprockets, lots of chain...(i.e. not sure of all the technical jargon... ) All thread and the 4:1 Banebot for the claw all controlled by Victors

Direct drive mecanums originally built with KoP gearboxes but switching over to Toughboxes because of gear ratios...weighed in today at 105 without battery...

Still need to cover pinch points, add positive stops, and practice...

This is by far the most advanced robot we've built and we are SUPER excited!!!!!!
