Re: Side Project Ideas?
What a strange problem to have - a lack of ideas for what to do. We have always had many more ideas floating around than resources to do them.
To date, the build ideas we have brought to completion (excluding the annual competition) include purchasing and building out a trailer ($9,000+ grant), the air cannon (totally redesigned, torn down to nano tubes and rebuilt an average of every 18 months), storage solutions (6 or 7 over 5 years), pits (5 different designs over 5 years, though the Stronghold Castle was definitely our best yet, both in terms of cool factor and speed of construction at competition), the "infinity sprockets" (which we finally displayed in this, our fifth year, though without a Moebeus - style crossover), and an H-drive chassis.
Uncompleted projects include: an automatic shifter progra, a remarkable plethora of autonomous routines; an off season drive train. Never-begun projects are an even longer list, but all I can think of right now are variations on the ones we have done or started.
