 We can't turn off inspiration and recognition, development and learning with a switch. It is an on-going process. If it were not, there would be no need for CD except for 6 weeks out of the year.

Re: Team 2164 (The Robotics Corps) PVC Contraption
That Rack looks excellent, My team just finished ours and we built it to the plans FIRST released but your pvc version seems just as effective and it looks as if it were easier to build. Where are you going to mount the lights though?

Re: Team 2164 (The Robotics Corps) PVC Contraption
Actually, we weren't planning on mounting the cold cathodes, yet, if at all. We are still working on the stingers, but they aren't that big of a problem, yet. Our robot currently only has a finished drive train and frame, the rest is still in progress, and should be finished by the end of Week 4. I think the total for the entire rack came to less than $300. I'll get an exact total if I can. If any of you guys are from Missouri and you want to practice with us, then send me an e-mail at jordanachap@gmail.com. Gotta love the PVC!

Re: Team 2164 (The Robotics Corps) PVC Contraption
Doe you guys have any problems with the rack moving or tipping if a robot bumps it? It seems like the lightweight PVC would be susceptible to sliding (or even tipping) if a robot hit it with enough force...

Re: Team 2164 (The Robotics Corps) PVC Contraption
No, its actually really stable. Its held together by gravity. It is, however, a little lopsided due to the fact that we have abnormal gravity in the Harrisonville, Missouri area. We have hung people on it and its never come close to falling over.
