Re: How Do You Make Your Robot?
I'll let someone else from 1714 talk about the robot. I tried to figure out what they made the 2010 one out of but I couldn't see it.
If all goes to plan, Shaker will have built 3 robots with 3 completely different materials. In 2009 the robot's frame was made of pultruded fiberglass. I-beams with cutouts for wheels made up the drivetrain, c-channel all around for bumper mounts. Some aluminum channel and box tubing for the tower, a fiberglass intake, and then lexan for the rest. Pretty cool.
The 2010 frame was made up of 4 1/4" aluminium sheet as side rails, assembled with standoffs. Some 80-20 connected the sides together and formed the rest of the frame. The bumper mounts were a bolted on rectangle of pultruded fiberglass.
Sheet metal is the way of the future...
