Re: pic: 1501 Final Robot - see you at BoilerMaker!
That has to be one of the coolest looking robots I have ever seen.
Great job guys! Any chance of a white paper on the monocoque construction method at some point? |

Re: pic: 1501 Final Robot - see you at BoilerMaker!
In the summer time, I'll see what I can do to convince the team members to write up something.
Since the photo comments did not post in the forum here is what I said when I posted the picture: QUOTE again: "We would like to thank Jerry Smyth and Mike Smyth (father and son) engineering mentors that taught not only the kids but other "sparky" engineering type people like myself how to construct a robot using monocoque. If you don't know monocoque is: Monocoque is a French word meaning "single shell." Commonly used in aircraft structures in which the outer skin carries all or most of the torsional and bending stresses. Jerry is a former navy aviator that designed airplanes back in the 60's." |

Way cool. Congrats to all.
Now is that the starting position, or a traveling position. It appears in the picture to be too long. |

Re: pic: 1501 Final Robot - see you at BoilerMaker!
That is certainly one beautiful machine, more like what I would expect to see in BattleBots rather than FIRST
 Very nice - but I must say I'm NOT looking forward to competing against you in Lafayette!!  |

Re: pic: 1501 Final Robot - see you at BoilerMaker!
This is why I asked for the use of the Wind Tunnel
 We have one student whose only job is to clean and polish our robot Chris, I didn't make the final build day, what is the all up weight? The arm only weighs 23 pounds with a cylinder that can produce 150 pounds of lift. Between matches we will be launching items into the stands The shipping and starting position is with the arm in it's full up position. This fits into the 28"x38"x60" box with some wiggle room. Bot is roughly 27"x37". We have a 11' ish reach See you all at the Boilermaker regional. Wayne Doenegs CAD Mentor Lemmings non sumus |

We can't tell you how many rivets. We are going to do a contest and make you guess at our PIT... see you there! Wayne, I am pretty sure we weighed in at 100lbs without the battery. |

Re: pic: 1501 Final Robot - see you at BoilerMaker!
