Re: Unibody/Monocoque Construction

A couple of weeks back we had a chicken BBQ fundraiser. We also brought out or robots to show the public. We used our 4H fair parade float to showcase them.
When we got the float to the parking lot we discovered that the light (from 2006) on top of our goal was loose. We did not have a ladder or any chairs for me to stand on. I had the idea of standing on top of 2007 lifter frame. It held me (cough cough 220 cough lbs cough) with no flexing or rotating. It was a very stable tower.
Also, if you want to see how we do monocoque, e-mail me. I have over 500 pictures of the 2006 (Scorpion) robot. They go from day one of build season to ship day.
I also have a lot of pictures of Sidewinder II. Just not sure how many.
