What a beautiful render!

A few questions...
1/8" or 1/6"?
Whats the weight, aprox?

[dellagd]

Is that with the added weight of the pressure created from sound system?

You see, with speakers this powerful, when aimed at a positive angle upwards, they actually compress the air above enough to force the robot down with upwards of 20 pounds of force.

Allow me to clarify a bit on this, and our plan on how it would work:

Basically, it just spins in circles while blasting music. It also, as you can see, contains disco balls and strobe lights.
Throughout each round, our team would dance at the driver station. Furthermore, every round we would ensure our alliance that we would actually try that round, just to start dancing and spinning the robot in circles yet again. The goal of this would be hearing teams get super annoyed whenever they find out that 2607 is on their alliance. To make it even better, getting to Einstein with a robot would just be the epitome of awesomeness.

But yeah, for some reason, people prefer our current robot with a rotating turret and camera tracking over the ravebot... I honestly don't know why...

Our off-season project was a music robot. It has xylophones, drums, a disco ball, and other miscellaneous instruments that I'm not quite too sure about.

Thanks for doing the CAD for us!

Thanks for doing the CAD for us!

Thankyou. By the complexity of the design, Im sure you can tell that I painstakingly used Autodesk inventor to design such a thing.

It is completely parametric from all elements in the picture.

Perfect for the DiscoBots! we usually just settle for a mini discoball ornament...
