Due to circumstances beyond our control we had to get a new number. Since we have the same students, the same engineers and the same school we have a rookie number but not a rookie status
As for the monocoque robot we appreciate all the kind words
A little background about monocoque. Each rivet we use (1/8" diameter) has a shear strength of 200 pounds. Every 10 rivets equals 1 ton of shear strength
Imagine a 5" square piece of .040" aluminum with 16 rivets around the border. Now imagine a wire connecting each rivet to the other 15 rivets and you will see where we get our durability. Those 16 rivets have a shear strength of 3200 pounds.
IMHO I think we have one bad boy robot
