We make 100% of all our CNC milled parts on a ProtoTrak. We have absolutely no problems cutting any kind of aluminum. What sort of problems are you having? Also, about the tensioning system...it seems extremely similar to 254s, why are you keeping it secret? -Brando |

Well its the way the cams are turned, not the actual system. |

Re: pic: 2011 Drive Prototype
What CAM package are you using?

Re: pic: 2011 Drive Prototype
This looks to me like a redrawing of a 254/968 robot. WHile good for developing CAD skills, it is only probably 10% of the actual design process. The secrecy about the cam is particularly bizarre. I can't imagine anything you have done to drastically change the already mentioned cam method of tensioning that you wouldn't even know about without the free sharing that 254/968 participate in.
It's a bit disheartening to see all this "design" and "prototype" being claimed as your own, when it is clearly a near carbon copy of an already existing design although not even the most recent version of the drivetrain that they use. I am a bit worried about the amount of people posting "west coast" drive "designs" lately that clearly dont understand the actual intricacies involved with the design and instead of taking the time to figure out the chain runs, bearing blocks, tensioning, etc, spend the time focusing on making "cool" renders. When it comes to how the robot functions, the quality of the render will have absolutely no correlation. |

Re: pic: 2011 Drive Prototype
The machines cam is an old style acer not sure how to describe it, but you plug numbers into the machine and it goes to those points.

![]() If you don't feel it's worth the time and effort it takes to put some pockets in a gearbox plate, I really don't think you're going to want to go to the extreme level of effort it takes to make that happen. |

Also can you or Nick Eyre please show me how to pocket the plates like 254 does it Cory? because the only pocketing that i know how to do is by cutting triangles. Last edited by MWB : 30-06-2010 at 16:23. |

Re: pic: 2011 Drive Prototype
Just wondering, by any chance were RC or Eugene Fang helping you out with this?

Re: pic: 2011 Drive Prototype
Eugene explained what WCD was and RC explained how the cam lock tensioning system worked... Oh yeah and RC told me how much my renders sucked haha.

Re: pic: 2011 Drive Prototype
I meant that it is not a "Carbon Copy" as he called it, it is a copy of the concept but not the total design.
