Go to Post The true beauty is, no matter what the game (Yes, even 2001), we spend these 6 weeks going crazy with design strategy, and trying to figure out a way to work the plot twists that the GDC throws at us...and its a blast. - Andy Grady [more]

Re: pic: Team 3266 Sheet Metal Drivetrain

I'm sorry idk if you already answered this or not i didnt see it if you did. I was wondering what the thickness of the metal was and is all the metal machined or did you get any of it assembled for you? looks awesome to see the finish product!

Re: pic: Team 3266 Sheet Metal Drivetrain

All the metal is .100" aluminum and is cut out using a laserjet and then bent on an automatic break, this is done by one of our machining sponsors. Then the students rivet the frame together.

As far as the overall design I owe a lot to the guys from 2168 and 228. Without their generosity and CAD files I wouldn't be anywhere near a production ready sheet metal drivetrain. Also the design for the pulley hubs was originally from 2168's 2013 robot and the weight reduction is heavily influenced from their 2011 base. What can I say I'm a huge fan!
