Re: pic: 1885 Progress

Indeed, that CIM is a simulation of a CIMulator to a CIMple Box (muahahaha). We used it to ensure the angle bar next to it (which will hold an electronics board) wouldn't interfere with the motors. We got our Banebots order in late so we'll have the gearboxes just in time for ship.

I had some comments for the pic that got wiped because automatic updates rebooted the computer before I clicked apply. heh.

This is the first year powder coating is actually going to help the robot functionality. It makes a HUGE difference for the plastic linear slides. With 2 strands of surgical tubing, the threaded rod can run close to its critical speed with no worries.
