Re: pic: Team Midnight Invention's robot TETRACIDE

a few things Alex left off. we are running a 24 volt system, the drives are pretty straight forward motor chained to wheels. It is a 2 WD system with chain to each wheel and ball transfers in the front. The pneumatic system is 3- 2inch bore cylinders running 250psi at each flipper. the pneumatics are powered by an on board 20 cu-ft nitrogen tank holding 2200psi. We are using a custom built pneumatic manifold for our cylinder control. The electronics in this system is a 2002 IFI Issac 32, with victor 883's to the motors and spikes controlling the pneumatics. the whole bot is solid welded construction and weights about 220 lbs.

i am working on putting all the build photos together and there will be a gallery soon.
