 It's a good things we're engineers who regularly squeeze out 'miracles' with a severely limited budget, eh? I think that's an important aspect that we as mentors need to show the students from time to time, and this year is a perfect opportunity. - JesseK [more] |

Re: pic: Top Gun With Wheels
Weight: the raw frame is reported to weigh 15 pounds. The wheels and axles add another 16 or so (I am starting to respect the "small wheel" faction) and the electronics board about a pound. That's 32 pounds as it sits. The official weight spreadsheet shows it weighing about 60 pounds with motors, gears, and chain, but without electronics and the shooter mechanism. Fortunately, the sweeper/shooter is very simple and pretty lightweight. It should come in fine, but it will probably weigh a little too much. Last year, we had to shave 20 ounces at weigh-in.
At least one of mentors doesn't want to add bumpers because he doesn't think we need them. I want to add bumpers because, well, they're free and might preserve our wheel-shaft ends from damage. |
