What does everyone think of the things circled in red?

Matt Attallah · #3 16-05-2003, 09:54

1st of all - It's not 850 psi. We had about a combined weight (with our suction on - drawing about 6psi) of 850 lbs. 2nd of all, yea that guy in the red is old - but he still can kick a lot of people's butt (not mine - haha!

) 3rd you didn't need the red circles - i'm sure that people can see for them selves...

That's it for now!

Thats pretty impressive.

Your team really does suck!

I'd like to say that the table does not weigh that much.

......And those 2 old men are picking up 630 pounds.....

2 and 1/2 feet by 3 feet by 1 and 1/2 inch waferboard
= 20 pounds

+

Aluminum tubing
= 25 pounds

Total Table Weight = 45 pounds

Those 2 old men are holding up 175 pounds assuming your robot weighs 130 pounds and my estimates are right..........

Bob and Gary [the guys in the picture], said the table weighs about 500 lbs.

Instead of this turning into a flame though, PM me or IM me on AIM about this if you still wanna fight.

Bsr Tunk Pa: Bring it on!
evanescence s0ul: who is this, the one w/ the math?
Bsr Tunk Pa: YUP
evanescence s0ul: ah, k.
evanescence s0ul: the engineers said that it weighted 500 lbs.
Bsr Tunk Pa: well since I last picked up a table about that size it seemed to me it weighed about 40 pounds
evanescence s0ul: u'd have to take it up w/ the engineers, i'm just believing what they said
Bsr Tunk Pa: well give me their screen names...
evanescence s0ul: they ain't got 'em
Bsr Tunk Pa: Email?
evanescence s0ul: they haven't answered mine in about a few weeks, they are way busy right now
Bsr Tunk Pa: Great excuse
evanescence s0ul: i'm not lieing

1. I find it hard to believe that table weighs 500lbs. If those two engineers are squatting 300lbs each, then they better enter the World's Strongest Man competition.

2. The picture is entertaining, but robots don't push upward, they push sideways. It would be a lot more plausible if they flipped the robot 90 degrees so the robot was holding the table up in the air vertically. If it doesn't slide off, then I'd be impressed.

Suction only increases the normal force between the material and the surface. You still need a material with a high coefficient of friction to resist sliding. Without this, a robot could easily push you off the ramp no matter how much suction you have.

1. Can we just drop the table thing please.

2. The plate pushes the robot up, and Bob and Gary are holding it up.
