: ************************************************** **********************************************

: NO MORE TOYS in 99.

: In past years, many of the robots have looked like escapees from the Island of Mis-fit
: Toys because nearly all the actuators came from taking a band saw to some Toys R
: Us bought earth moving equipment ;-)

: This year we'll have none of that: We're talking drill motor actuators (with chucks which
: will help with some of the nastier interface issues), Custom Built Globe Motors,
: Custom Built Seat Adjuster Motors and more.

:
: FULL RADIO REMOTE CONTROL -- NO TETHERS :-)

: 'Erector Set Simple' Drive Train Components
: Motors with 1/4 inch round output shafts
: Sprockets a-plenty
: Trantorques transfer torque from sprockets to shafts
: Enough chain, bearings, u-joints, flexible couplings, etc. to make it interesting

: Pneumatics -- YES PNEUMATICS!

: Bolt together construction with No Precision Machining Allowed
: Only drill presses, dremels, saws, files, etc. allowed
: No Lathes
: No Mills
: No Wire EDM's
: No Centerless Grinders, etc.
: No welding
:
: 2ft X 2ft X 2ft Robots (Weight TBD, but 60lbs is a good guess)
