Re: pic: Wheels and gearing
So when do we get to see whats on top? We all know your drivetrain is gonna have the awesomeness it has always had, but your arms are the interesting part. Like maybe that enormous ~20 foot arm you had a few years ago....

the whole arm weight is 10 lbs without motors. We are looking at 20-30 lbs for the manipulation device that will accompany it. The weight distribution will heavily be located in the base within 4 inches of the floor. WC |

Re: pic: Wheels and gearing
now thats quite the impressive tower you've got there. How are you lifting it, and how are you connecting your manipulator to the top tower?

I'm trying to make our arms weigh less than that in their entirety, manipulators included. |

you misread- we still have 20-30 lbs to meet limit without the manipulator mechanisms. The bulk of that will be in motors in the lower section no doubt. But this will be a very simple design that will do the job. The material is aluminum- heavily cheesholed for weight. We are very fortunate to have some great help from our guys at Bristol Myers and they know how to get these things done. BTW- if you search out our 2000 robot you will see similarities on how this is done. Note the uprights on that machine. Making a tower like this is no secret but making one well is the tough part.
