Re: pic: Team 116 Modular Control System
Looks great! We tried one of those this year, but unfortunately it was built and designed by a couple of freshmen. Needless to say, it wasn't the most beautiful thing I've seen. It didn't even fit into our frame. We were going to call it the Brain Box. (I think it's pretty catchy
) Good luck and I hope to see ya guys at nats. |

Re: pic: Team 116 Modular Control System
We suspected some Junkin brother spycraft when we saw that guy. Lucien hasn't talked yet, but a few more turns of the thumbscrews oughta do it.
I'll have to post pics of our monstrosity of a controls box when I remember my camera. It unfolds similarly, but we got the bright idea of putting an accumulator, 4 solenoids, and a mess o' hoses in there too. It ain't pretty. Do you have a mirror or something to be able to see the RC lights? Our resident inspector complained and complained about not being able to see ours until we slid the brain forward an inch.

Re: pic: Team 116 Modular Control System
That is one nice box. We tried folding some items in last year to protect the main rc board but the inspectors made us turn the board to the outside so they could see the lights by just looking down at the robot. Have you run into this same problem before?

Re: pic: Team 116 Modular Control System
Very impressive dave,
I myself had attempted something like this several years ago and failed miserably and have considered it several times since then, you however have suceeded! Kudos to you sir! One question as brought up in the above post, how easy is it to see the lights on the RC and Victors? Jtosh |

Re: pic: Team 116 Modular Control System
Wow! Awesome idea. Good way to keep bits of metal out...though if it does get in it'll get in everything.
How much does it weigh though? and how does it mount to the robot? |

That...is...beautiful!!!! What type of wire connectors are those on the outside of the box? Those look awesome! It will solve a ton of problems on our robot.... One question though, how are you able to see the lights on the victors and the RC while the box is in your robot? Whoever built that... You are my new hero! ![]() |

Re: pic: Team 116 Modular Control System
this box brings me to tears... I love it so much.
I wanted to make a box similar to this one this year. But had to settle for just a flat panel instead because of space issues. Great work!!! |
