Re: pic: Highlander Robotics reverted gearing shifter
Thanks Brendan! Yup, we plan to have two of these manufactured and in the robot within the next week.
Not too worried about the 1/4" Lexan, we've done a lot of similar things over the past few years with no issue, due to our inhouse CNC router which handles Lexan beautifully, but just can't do aluminum. You have to be a bit more mindful than usual about creating a broad footprint for both mounting and supporting standoffs, but as long as that's well done, they hold up fine. Our shooter gearbox this year used similar construction, and didn't get the reinforcement from butting right up against the chassis sheet metal that these guys will.
Looking forward to playing with you guys at Battlecry!
