Re: Iterave design, 2011
thanks, we cant wait to compete with you this week.

the goal of this was to make things easier to change, and more flexible.

on the third version there are clever examples throughout the design. the lightning pattern on the members with the roller is set up such that the axle can be put in any of those holes, allowing for adjustment on the fly without much problem. the chain between the spools and the dewalt allows for the lift to operate in the highest gear on that transmission normaly, and if something is broken and getting jamed we would be able to power through the resistance with a lower gear.

we do not have any upgrades for the robot because our 30lbs allowance is 15lbs of fischer prices. our lift is binding somewhere and eating them. we probably wont fix it until we fry at least 1-3.

a secondary goal with these redo's is for me to be faster with the CAD. the original took 4 days to get worked out for the most part. the second one took 14 hours. and i did version 3 in just under 6 hours.

these are primarily to look at next year, and see what we can do to make the build season go faster. each iteration removed machining. and standardized parts.
