 IMHO, [the driver's] job is to drive the robot. The coaches job is to monitor everything in a match that isn't your robot. - CalTran [more] |

Re: pic: Team 229's Anodized IFI Wheels
the reason the sprockets are slightly off color is because they are a different type of alluminum. We weren't to sure how it would react to the annodizing process, and these are the results.

Re: pic: Team 229's Anodized IFI Wheels
Now the question becomes, "Do we want to join in the new trend-setting style of 229 or follow the classic chrome bling of 111?"
A beautiful job, folks! Matt

Re: pic: Team 229's Anodized IFI Wheels
I think I'll get a strange mint sensation looking at 229's robot!
 The anodizing looks good. The green and yellow makes a good contrast. At work when we do toolings for our injection molding robots we've run across the same problem where the color varies depending on the material used to make the individual parts. We do a clear anodize to prevent this unless specified by the customer and at that point we just say the toolings have "character".
