Re: FIRST Team 2980's 2012 Open Source Robot


This is our shooter. One of the fisher price motors is missing because we have to make a run to the hardware store to find new mounting screws. While the chain was mounted about a minute before this picture was taken, we pulled it off because one of the fisher price motors had worked its way loose and the screw was missing...Guess it is time for some thread locker blue.



This is our base. We might have to add a metal plate to the front to keep the frame from toeing in, which would be a nightmare. The upper frame bolts to it and has gussets to stiffen up the chassis. On this one we will have to wait and see what modifications are needed.

We still need to add chains...We spent the better part of Sunday and again today cutting spacers to line the wheels up so the chains won't be stressed. Then we ran out of half and master links...

We are also redoing our ball harvester rollers...Couldn't seam to keep the chain on.

I'll try to take some detailed picks of our hopper during tomorrow's build session.
