1241 THEORY6 2016 CAD and Prototype Resources Release

[YawnYao]

You guys have an awesome robot this year. I have a few questions about the cad though.

How did you fabricate the camera mount? It looks like it's 3D printed but I can't tell how you printed it. Also, is the camera mount dampener rubber, and how did you make it?

Can you send me a link to the camera you use?

How did you mount the router? Was it just VHB taped up or did you use zipties to hold it up?

How did you make the pivot shaft inserts?

How do you guys accurately make long .5" tube axle standoffs? We ran into problems with making standoffs over 6" and had to use tape measures instead of calipers.

In the gorilla arm subassembly, I saw you guys use an extrusion bushing as a hub. Are extrusion bearings COTS or a custom made part?

Also in the gorilla arm, is the sprocket COTS or do you guys lighten it in-house?

With the pivot assembly, how do you keep the inside plate bushing in place?

The intake arm pivot versaplanetary gearboxes looks cantilevered and unsupported. Did it give you guys any trouble throughout the season?

How do you push the ball back into your intake? I noticed you had cylinders for it in your prototype but not in your final cad.

Can you please explain your bumper mounts to me? They all have a single clearance hole that I'm assuming allows you to bolt to the frame but I don't understand how they can stay fixed.

How do you mount your electronics? It looks like there's slots for you to ziptie your talons, VRM, and PCM, but I don't understand how you mount your PDP, roborio, solenoids, or kangaroo.

Your battery holder has 2 slots near the top. What do you use the slots for? Are they for securing the battery connection or for a strap around the battery?

How do you make the chassis skiis? Are they delrin or polycarb? Same with the big plastic belly.

Why do you power your drivetrain through a keyed shaft instead of hex? And how do you manufacture the drivetrain outputshaft with accurate key ways and tap holes?

At the top of your conveyer assembly, there's a part called "square disk". What's it for?

Your chain tensioners are really cool. I can see where the arm gearbox tensioners are sprung to, but where are the drivetrain tensioners sprung to?

Thanks a ton for posting your cad, it's an amazing resource for other teams!
