Re: Enough buying talk. Let's hear about ghettofab!
at the peachtree regional, we found that our robot was unable to climb the small steps. luckily a coach from 494 helped us build some 'sliders' out of some extra material the martians had (delrin, i believe), using a sawz-all and a hand drill. the sliders (along with a pneumatic cylinder) allowed us to get up onto the 6-inch platform in one bound.
the sliders are the white triangular pieces affixed to the front of the bot.
