 Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR).
BQR-5: The platonic ideal of FRC bumpers.
...
BQR-0: Moderate to heavy use of duct tape.
I believe BQR would outperform OPR as a predictor of on-field robot performance. - Nate Laverdure [more] |

Re: pic: SAM's welded frame taking shape
Congrats on learning to weld! Your frame is looking fantastic. I have taught several of our students. One thing I would recommend doing continued learning on is joint construction techniques. With AL the welded joints typically anneal the material close to the joint.
We had an AL joint Failure at the least opportune time last year (finals at WMR). Had I added an overalp strap to the butt joint, it would not have failed. We fixed this for the CHMP, but WMR ended in a second place. Last edited by IKE : 14-01-2009 at 21:14. Reason: added content

TIG welding, right? Are you SURE you don't want to wear a leather coat or apron?
(Congratulations on your skill. That's cool.)

Welding is a great resource and a skill to have! It's sooo great that you learned at such a young age!

Re: pic: SAM's welded frame taking shape
ANOTHER GIRL WELDER! I learned during the 08 build season and passed my "welding test" at the beginning of this one and was able to weld on the bot. CONGRATS!
Although with TIG welding you really should wear a coat/apron. The rays coming off that is super-bad for you. The welding mentor (who teaches welding at UW-Milwaukee) told us a story about welding one day and the UV just burning through his shirt.
