Claw

[farmersvilleRob]

Could you post links to one of those 1-inch throw electrical solenoid actuators and Denso throttle control motors so I can research them?

Pneumatics is a waste for use to mount and barely use. And the bane bot motor weighs 12.4 ounces, and we need 2 for each side of the claw. That leaves barely any room for the actual parts (let alone the gearbox) because we're calculating a max weight of 3 pounds.

I guess this probably wasn't the right thing to ask because I can't provide too much information without saying our designs, but once I look at those two, I should be able to come up with a decision with the team! Thanks in advance!

I found both. They aren't what we need, but I think I'll stick with servos

Good luck then, and see you at the competitions.
