New Zealand VEX

[Jeff K.]

It's awesome seeing some of the people from the summer workshops we hosted in these pictures. I can't wait to see the first regional. New Zealand really bring forth a lot of innovation to the playing field.

I think we owe you guys something for getting us started those days =] tell your team thank you for me!

[usif]

Yeah, Thanks Eagle Engineering for kicking off the NewZealand Competitions.

Westlake Senior team did exceptional in the last competition (although we had our pneumatics play up). I dont have any photos For our robot, but I have a Ton from other schools (And videos). If you would like them posted, just reply yes or no.

How did your arm work for you in the last competition Tim? We are currently waiting on our medium sized chasis kit to come through, but it probably wont make it before the competition.

I probably have some of your robots lying around =] give me a few days to pull them out and upload them

sure, if you have some good photos that would be great =]

Our arm was just a liniear slide rail bolted together to the right length with a small to large gear doing the lifting (on a motor of course pretty simple but effective)

^ EVIL ROBOT
Lol jk, i love it really
horrible to play against though ><

Did you only have one support beam either side, Tim??

[chaoticprout]

As Jeff and Noah said, it's very nice to see familiar faces. Excited to hear how the Regional turns out, good luck.

[phr34kR]

Yea only one support beam either side but with a diagonal support beam formed into a triangle at the top for rigidity (and i got bored)

[SCROSSLEY-GCEC]

ah, k. so no issues with bending/sliding etc?
our robot is fail atm lol >< gotta get it sorted for saturday :O

[usif]

We are just fixing some oddities, and trying to fit into the size restriction

[phr34kR]

Fitting in the sizing box is good I really did like MAG's sizing box though seeing as it was made out of wood it made it nice and square and accurate.

[SCROSSLEY-GCEC]

Haha agreed - the sizing boxes are horrible if they arent exactly 18" when ur robot is 17.75"
its now 17.9" ^^;; better shrink it lol
