Nice bot, as always from the Pink Team.

I see that Kit has you guys running through his driving tests.... outside. Let Kit know that we have about a foot of snow up here in Kokomo.

Best of luck,
Andy B.

What kind of rails do you use for the tower and how thick are they because it seems that there is hardly any space in between each stage.

yes, its in the 5 ft class, which unfortunetly means we lose 10 lbs of pushing weight : (

I'm not too great on terminology, but we just use the square aluminum tubing, we only have two stages this year, and the final stage is the exact thickness of the black "snake" as we have come to call it (thing used for wires)
unfortunetly I do not know the exact dimensions...sry, but yeah, the is very little space between stages, just enough for a chain, luckily we've been blessed with fantastic facilities : )

The inner section is 1/8 wall thickness aluminum tube that's 1 inch square on the outside. The outer section is 1/8 inch wall, 2 1/2 square Al tube (with lots of lightening holes).

Kit nailed the thickness of the metal on the arm: 1/8" thickness, inside tube is 1" square and outside tube is 2.5" square (aluminum).

I talked to one of the mechanics (Mike D.) who helped us out and he said that, "there is 5/8" in each side of the box and we use Delrin rollers in each side. The chain is used to move the inside tube in and out."

So I hope that answers your question, FDA1029.

Re: Team 233 (The Pink Team) Roccobot 2k7 Videos Unveiled!

yes it does because we used the same telescoping method but we used teflon so the each stage can slide easily.

Another question, how did you align the wheels? Because Pneumatic wheels grip really well the the floor which tend to give too much traction and make it harder to turn.
