Is that right?!?

How many teams are involved in this collaboration? Three?

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....

hmmm i m going with they used lexan for sideplates for the gearboxes and who knows maybe some carbon fiber for the chassi

IMO they look like Aluminum sprockets and pulleys? The bevel makes me think that the thin ones are going to be sprockets, just waiting for teeth to be cut. I think the drive system is unrelated to these parts personally, maybe a manipulator design?

Someone already guessed correctly. Post #22 They are #25 sprockets for our drivetrain.

Wow, I just kinda added a reply before I read the post. I jumped the gun I guess.
