Re: FIRST Team 2980's 2012 Open Source Robot
our shop is a work in progress...We have some tools...band saw and drill press...a mill/lathe combo and some hand tools.
A guy donated a Scratch buillt CNC but it is pretty small and we haven't cut any shapes with it yet. He's currently deployed and never got it cutting before donating it.
we have another teacher who was a professional welder in a previous life. he helps with any welding needs which is amazingly awesome.
As for the gear boxes, we just ordered 2 CIM-u-lator gear boxes...We probably should have ordered four, but this one was of pocket for our lead mentor. we would have had to wait for a PO to process and that can take weeks and he is already getting us all the lumber to make our field elements...
now that we found those and have our magic box set up, we should be back on track on monday.
Again, thanks for all of the help today.
Oh, and "CIRE" a guy from wisconsin I believe told us our wheels should be able to spin at about 2000 rpm, so 33 times a second or so to get the distance we need.
Hopefully the fisher price motors we have will hold up.
