New elevator on your drivetrain? Beast.

[Jared Russell]

Make sure you get some video

I'm sick of teasers! Don't you think 7 is a little obsessive!

Second a request for video!

[Borisdamole]

I will make sure to get atleast SOME video of it at the Fall classic

Awesome elevator and all, but where's robot #3? I bet there's some Pink clone hiding under that picture.

I love how that lift keeps the visual appearance of the arm robot's mast such that it takes a second to see if it's different.

You can see the mast of the super stripped down and kiddie-proofed practice bot directly behind the mast of the comp bot.

i cant wait for tommorrow, its going to be amazing playing with/against you guys. And the elevator looks great.

I believe I see some constant-force springs on the lift. What force rating do they have and where did you guys get yours?

Looks good! Can we see a whole picture now?

Hate, Hate, Hate those things.

We'll post a full picture tomorrow, we've been so busy preparing that we just haven't really had time for this stuff. It was really hard to get the robot programmed as all the programming mentors just got back to school Monday.

They're 7 lb I believe, from mcmaster. Both mcmaster and sdp-si seem to have a similar and pretty decent selection.

Tom, these guys aren't too bad at 7 lbs, easy enough to handle by hand without cutting yourself (although I have a few times already). The 40 pounder we have but didn't use scares the heck out of me however.

[Audrey Chu]

Sean lied to me! He said you were all too busy with that last robot to build an elevator.......

[rsisk]

Looking forward to seeing your stuff this afternoon!

Adam the color scheme on those bots looks really familiar =). I applaud the amount of off-season work you guys do. The robots look great, best of luck in the off season. Tom those elevators in general are not my friends. They work great when they are working but keeping them working is certainly a challenge. As 125 well knows I am sure.
