The original design was posted by Drew from team 4564 (Thanks Drew!). The 3D printed housing and concept of how to drive the tape using the 1.625 Colson wheel was directly from his design. Our team modified the concept to include a pair of tape measures fed back to back. The whole package weighs less than 9 pounds.
These pictures are from our prototype, unfortunately we did not get too many pic’s of the final product. The 2.5” Colson wheels at the exit point were replaced with 2” AndyMark Blue Stealth wheels.
