Re: pic: 3313 Towers and Grippers Mounted

Holy smokes! So many replies!!

The cantilevered hex hub shaft... We have some plans for the hex hub shaft that the hammer mounts on. We are either going to mount the shaft to a bearing on a plate (from the other tower) or we are going to extend the shaft with a set screw and some other stuff. At any rate... We have plans! I'm bad at explaining these things. Haha.

It does not stick outside of the 20". The hammer (from the shaft down) is about 24" and the shaft is mounted about 10" in. Soooo, we're ok on that end.

The hammer will be able to strike the ball either directly underneath it (for a truss shot) or closer to the back (for a goal shot). The grippers in the front can bring the ball up or down.

We plan to name it Thor. When we make our reveal video and finish detailing it, you'll see why.

However, RC Hammer is insanely awesome. And John Henry.
