AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (Sorry, trademark yell)
Howdy,
Long time listener, first time poster, first time FIRST engineer... I tried to find a picture for those interested. Then I realized I didn't have a good one of the lifters. They are bar stock with cables about 5 in from the pivot point. They are powered by 2 of the ...uh... large bore cylinders at 60 psi. We can lift ...uh... Tony. Maybe a list would work best. - 862 can't lift anyone TOTALLY off the ground - that's crazy talk - 862 has only tried to lift very stable robots, any only one side - 862 only lifts a few inches - just enough - We really REALLY don't want to hurt another robot, because robots tend to hold a grudge (as I am quickly learning) ![]() - We really wanted to do more than move goals - We never considered a baller getter chucker thingy since we didn't have alot of money. (Most teams spent more on speed controllers than we did on the robot) - Did I mention we really REALLY don't want to hurt any robots? Because we don't want to hurt them. - We wanted to learn about the pnumatics, and had nothing else to do with them. Seemed like a good idea at the time. ![]() - We tried to think "outside the box" and lifters happened to be right next to the "box". Anyway... all good things to learn for next year. Brian (Not2B) (Heebie Geebie) Graham P.S. - I saw the "no harm, no foul" message from the Chief about picking them up. Glad to hear that from you... we didn't want to upset anyone - just try to come up with something a little different, a little fun. Last edited by Not2B : 10-04-2002 at 22:32. |
