Re: Mystery Sprockets

In the past Team 104 has had no money and only hand tools. That didn't stop us from making adapters for IFI AL sprockets last year for the KOP wheels. We found a LDPE 5/8" cutting board at BED BATH and BEYOND, using 2 hole saws made some donuts. Drew some lines for the spoke slots and cut with a hack saw with 3 blades on it. Problem solved for about 8$. 2 sets from IFI would have cost 44$. The IFI AL sprockets were 1/2 the cost of the custom steel sprockets and less than half the weight. Some times your have to practice the fine art of kluging. In past years I submit that Team 104 has been the King of Kludge. There should be an award for the cheapest kludged bot that places highest in the rankings.
