Impressive. A harsh reminder of the kind of force that FRC bots exert.

3/8" diameter, 2024 aluminum?

I'm curious to know just how much torque that took...

In 2008, our arm was able to rotate the keyway of a piece of hardened 1/2" steel keyshaft almost 90 degrees. It's impressive how an FRC robot can destroy itself!

1/2" 7075, which is why we were pretty surprised.

Not sure the alloy, but it was some small diameter (bad idea in hindsight)

Re: pic: Twisted Hex Shaft
Wow, that is quite a failure for a 1/2" 7075 shaft. Can you explain in a bit more detail the application this was in under failure?

most common types of 7075 is 0, T6, and T631. Although there are MANY different types such as T7362 is also a common one.

It was on our arm. Basically we have 2 Banebot's gearboxes with chain running up to the arm. We have approx. 50 lb-ft of torque (don't worry, 1:4 chain reduction, only 6.25 lb-ft on each gearbox). We have chain on either side of the arm, and we decided to change the tensioning method to turnbuckles. Almost immediately as we raised the arm, the turnbuckle one side (the twisted side failed) while the other one held. The torque of the arm in addition to tension being held by the chain all released in one instant twisting the shaft, as the tension still held on the other side (on which the gearbox's rollpins sheared)
