What's going in your Withholding Allowance?

[Pausert]

-A piece of body paneling that isn't finished.
-The Camera (we plan to obtain another cRIO with which to tweak programming)
-Some odds and ends that may or may not ever touch the 'bot.

[Tottanka]

Our whole robot is 38.2 pounds, so we decided to just leave it and cut costs on shipping.





Just kidding...Electro board and camera are left, will ad some more stuff to those 40 pounds...

[IndySam]

Whole shooter tower and turret, all 30 pounds of it.

We are going to mount it on our test chassis and use it to continue software development.

[Josh Murphy]

Ours will pretty much be spare motors, parts, and raw material.

[MrForbes]

School and team name and sponsor stickers....

I think the rest of the stuff we're bringing is COTS, although we might bring the prototype wood chassis if we have room? it's only 18 lbs, and it's slightly entertaining

custom carbon fiber robot, eh? maybe Styrofoam robot?
oh wait i know: blimp robot!

[Billfred]

For 1618:

-School/sponsor logos
-Vinyl to complete the team's blackout look--imagine how they wrap cars, and apply to a robot.
-Spare 545 motors with the BaneBots pinion pressed on

I'm not sure what exactly 2815 will be bringing.

[Vikesrock]

We removed our turret with shooter and the electronics to run it (our small electronics board +1 Jag from the side wall of the 'bot)

Not sure what the final weight on these parts was, but it should be well under 40 lbs.

We may be adding upgrade parts for the first conveyor (deeper Gates belts to prevent slipping) and the intake roller (investigating ways to make it faster).

If timing belts are slipping, they need a lot more tension; making them wider only increases the force you can transfer through them.

The belt that is on there is tight as a drum. It was tensioned into place by moving one of the parts with a clamp and does not appear to flex at all when pushed on. It is not one of the 5mm kit belts, it has a much shallower profile. We are looking at belts with a deeper profile, not wider belts.

We have a nearly identical 2nd conveyor running perfectly using some fo the 5mm kit belts.

[ZakuAce]

We're keeping our control system, part of the turret, and we are bringing in our redesigned rollers.

ARGGGG! You always beat me to posting

If it's a wrong/shallow profile belt, fair enough. If you're looking to buy more 5mm pitch belts or timing belt sprockets, SDP/SI has a wide selection, including a ton of really light polycarbonate timing belt pulleys with aluminum hubs.

cRio board which we made modular for easy removal.
Camera system for further testing on a second robot,
Drivers station.
Some Lexan panels so they can be lettered and logos applied.
Spare wheels.
Everything else is COTS.

[Zholl]

We're holding on to our control board and driver station. We had some issues at this weekends scrimmage, all programming, mostly problems with watchdog. Everything else is pretty simple and doesn't need fixing
