Re: pic: West Coast Collaborationz and Team 254 Present
It's almost the same 'bot as last year's, with some changes:
-Totally redesigned drivetrain - we're using 2 fisher price's (with the andymark transmissions) and 2 atwoods to run it, and we can shift on the fly. Also, the gearboxes are almost 50% lighter than last year's.
-Yes, the arm has 3 joints, but the top joint is chained to the lower part of the arm, so that it always moves parallel to it.
-We machined gearboxes to run the arm as well, because we were having problems with the plastic gearboxes on the fisher price motors from last year.
-The arm is run by 2 atwoods, not 2 FP's and and a van door.
There are a few minor tweaks here and there, but those are the main differences.
