Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Informat

I'm so disapppointed. No toilet bowl flanges or magnets to throw everyone into wild speculation.

Since it says the lexan is needed to perfectly replicate the field, I'm guessing it's just for a side wall off some platform to stop robots from falling off and getting damaged like they did on the side of the ramp for Stack Attack 2003...

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Information

Any other thoughts on that 1" x 5" by 8?

I'm pretty sure it means feet not inches.

The list is for building "field elements"--so I doubt it includes the player stations and side rails. It definitely sounds like ramp & platform stuff.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Information

the players station was part of the construction in 2004 when there was an opening in the players station for the balls to go thru, it was only 2' or so tall and 4' long, but it was included in the materials list.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Informat

Just for those of you who are going to buy some of these items, from personal experince I had great difficulty getting someone at multiple stores to even know what a carriage bolt is, I talked to at least 20 people and nobody was able to figure it out. So I hope this makes it a little easier to find at the store or your shop, heres a picture of a carriage bolt:

The list asks for 8, 3/8-16 x 4 carriage bolts

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Informat

I also agree that there will be some kind of raised structure with all that wood in the BOM. I believe the aluminum diamond plate is more for decorative purposes than anything else, and the polycarbonate will be used as in 2004, when it was the flooring material under the bar - slippery!
With two poly sheets that big, I'm guessing there will be two raised structures or a very big one.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Information

lets say the polycarbonate is used for a ramp of some sort, why would they used polycarbonate instead of HDPE or something else, unless we need to see throught the ramp.

Or maybe its some sort of polycarboate wall

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Informat

I think that the Luan will be used for the bottom of a scoring goal. The sides will be made with the 1/8" polycarbonate. This will be held in the air above the ramp with all the lumber.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Informat

What if the ramp didn't look like /T\ but instead looked like )T(?

Hmm, well the parathases didn't work it right, but it would be more like a quarter pipe on either side of a flat platform.
