Re: Buckeye Damage report

On behalf of the team, we admitt that we underestimated potential damage, I'm not 100% sure but I believe it was aluminum. Sam will clear that up he come back online.

Re: Buckeye Damage report

first off. austin please do not speak on behalf of the team if you do not know for sure on a subject. at the time of design we never thought of two robots meeting up at a weird spot and doing what happened. its not a real hard fix just kinda a weird one. and im pretty sure most of our metal was 1X1 aluminum angle with a thickness of 1/8th inch. the thing that is messing with my head is how the top tier of our frame got pushed back so far. most of the impact should have been taken by the lower part of the frame. oh well. i love high impact events.

Re: Buckeye Damage report

I'm pretty sure we all underestimated such an event happening Sam, in fact we did all underestimate such an event. So, whether I state I speak on behalf of everyone or not, I do.

Re: Buckeye Damage report

Do you guys happen to have any pictures of the frame? If it's just angle, with not much bracing, I could see where it would get bent. Regardless, it's in the past, and some improvements may need to be made; I can't say too much though without seeing the damage.
