andy... nice robot

so ummm yea about that...

as per these pictures or your website:

http://www.technokats.org/images/tea...0on%20auk3.jpg

http://www.technokats.org/images/tea...ng_on_auk2.jpg

you have a suction cup on the ends of each arm on which you pull up on once it is stuck down with a globe motor(?)

the suction cup looks to be one of the "suck the air out of it kind" the one used for auto glass repain to lift out the windshield from the car. Not "force the air out of it" kind.

Looks like someone has been doing their research on us...even though it may look like the suction cups are the "suck the air out kind", we are forcing the air out of them by pushing them agaisnt the ground then closing off the air by using a servo to clamp a tube that comes out of the suction cup since you are not allowed to create a vaccum...(by sucking air)

I'm sure we are still not posting any numbers on the force that these suction cups give us but rest assure it is a good amount of force...

correction on that

i am going to be a lazy bastard and not quote a direct rule but:

you are allowed to create vaccume but connecting the sucktion cup to and actuator and then pulling on the actuator!

however the solenoid supplyed to us and not that great with vaccume.


P.S. on the numbers part. You need not to post any if you saw Cradle to the Grave that kind of sucking cup (btw the movie sucked) the one you are using i would estimate around umm between 200 and 400 lbs of force

Also...

Also, purchased suction cups are allowed:

(page 44 in "the robot" section's Restricted Parts List)

(allowed): Suction cups: off-the-shelf or custom, any manufacturer, any quantity, any size

This is also shown on the part use flowchart on page 27 of "the robot".

I don't think we need to see what a suction cup looks like. At least, I hope not.
