 Including the Kinect in the kit a parts is actually an evil plan. The programers are going to spend all their time playing with the Kinect. In competition the robot is just to sit there because it will not have a program. :ahh: - FrankJ [more] |

Re: pic: Rivet...Rivet...Rivet
Ok, so you are going to use a robot to hold all of those rivets together? That sounds overly complicated. Just empty them into a single bigger box.

Re: pic: Rivet...Rivet...Rivet
Once you melt all that raw metal down and cast it into robot parts, how will you connect the cast pieces together?

...and I was expecting frogs.
 Just beware those Harbor Freight rivets for high-strength applications; their quality is somewhat less than the name brands. (But for 90% of what we do with them, they are just fine. We just don't use so many....)

Re: pic: Rivet...Rivet...Rivet
We have never had a rivet failed. Even when a team hit us at full speed three times (before bumpers). No rivet sheared or broke.

Re: pic: Rivet...Rivet...Rivet
lol. I have to say. Rivets stand alone above duct tape and zip ties for a lot of purposes

Re: pic: Rivet...Rivet...Rivet
Wow...that many rivets reminds me of my team's 2007 robot. I heard we went through over a thousand rivets between 3 competitions.

Re: pic: Rivet...Rivet...Rivet
So what is the weight of one of those boxes?
I went to HB but did not find any details on the weight. So there is 500 in one box?

Re: pic: Rivet...Rivet...Rivet
That's all one robot, or does it include the prototyping / mistakes?
Wouldn't surprise me either way.
