 Of course just because there is are existing solutions to a problem does not mean there aren't better ones. - dtengineering [more] |

Re: Welded Frame Horror Stories
Here are a few lessions learned from the ONE year we welded...
- Don't let you welder learn on the robot frame - Don't let you welder learn TIG welding as his first kind of welding - Don't let you welder learn on aluminum - Don't let you welder learn on 1/16" thick aluminum - Don't let someone grind off all the "ugly bumps" on the surface after you are done welding. We made some mistakes. Huge mistakes. But if you have a skilled weldor on the team, you should be OK. And here is my thinking on bent frames. "Assume" that your frame will bend. Now how does your robot work? Try to think of ways to design so that it will work WITH damage. Because if you are anything like our team... you are going to eventually run it into a wall at top speed, fall over, or drive it off a cart at some point. |
