pic: 968 - A few unfinished parts

[Dan Richardson]

I think the little ones with the rounded edges are the shooter, they fire balls into the goal, and I think the pulley's are for bring the balls to the shooter, with polycord and maybe some of that high traction stuff IFI uses

Err dude, that was last year =P

[GBIT]

Yah ....... this year is the one with the innertubes and the "rack".

[Conor Ryan]

Parts of a pulley system that will manipulate your tubes?

[Jeremiah H]

Half of those look an awful lot like our hubs for the KoP AndyMark wheels, and the other half look like pulleys, though they seem small for that application.
Whatever they are, they sure are shiny.

[Ryan Dognaux]

Clearly they're just a bunch of spinning tops that 968 is giving away at competition.

Two -- just the same as last season. There're enough parts for two competition robots and two practice robots.

+ 2 demo gearboxes + spares.

Stay tuned for the gearboxes and drivetrain. All I can tell you is that the only steel you will find is in the bearings, chain, and hardware. Oh, and very little 6061 aluminum was used.

I finally got everyone on my team to stop telling me we ought to have a drivetrain just like 254/968. If they start in on nagging me about practice robots and demo gearboxes, we're going to have to have a talk

Wow how light is your drivetrain going to be. the 2005 254/60/22 drivebase w/ electrinics was about 55. How much is yours?

With electronics, not entirely sure. Especially with the heavy fuse panel and the DIN rail/block assembly.

Without electronics, ~25 lbs

I think we need to give you guys a weight handicap this year then...


Half my team was scared when they found out you guys were coming to L.A.... but, you may see some rather familiar things on our robot....
