Go to Post Some said the aluminum foil gave the robot a NASA-like quality, but others pointed out that blanketing components with a highly-conductive material that blocked air flow was probably not going to help get us to Einstein. - beerobber [more]

Re: pic: DeWALT Robotics Fall Teaser

So here is the deal with the gears. One of the machines responsible for secondary operations on these messed up a batch of gears, probably around 200. Since they were rejected from being able to be placed in product the team was able to snag them.

The plan is that these will become part of our team trophies given out to sponsors, teams, and others. We are going half painted black and the others yellow. I will be sure to post one when we are finished, maybe if your team is going to St. Louis you might even get one.


As for how they are made, these gears are cut individually from blanks in our gear machining center which uses Gleason gear machines which cut gears for many Delta, DeWALT, and Porter-Cable products.

As for gearstock I have never gotten any, traditionally I get my gears from mcmaster or martin.
