 Engineering fundamentally comes down to problem solving, and if the students can't get excited and inspired by the problem solving process because someone has spoon fed them a solution, then nobody wins.

Re: Is Anyone Using Motors to Hoist themselves off the platform on the bar?
My team chose to use the seat motor with a 2:1 gear reduction, works perfectly, a little slow though, but it's not comin down after we're up there

Re: Is Anyone Using Motors to Hoist themselves off the platform on the bar?
Alot of people seem to forget that you can use any motor depending on how you gear it. Alot of people also seem to forget that you don't have to lift yourself 9ft in the air. a cm or so will do. Why does speed really matter in this case. If you can lift yourself 1 cm in a few secs why does it matter as long as you are hanging. Perhaps i am missing somethign here.

Speed will matter, but very little though. Speed will be an issue during the last seconds of the game.

Re: Is Anyone Using Motors to Hoist themselves off the platform on the bar?
The first picture shows the motors (I drew in arrows to show you which two out of the three drive the bar) and the othe picture kind of shows you the pully system on the bar (its the best picture I have at the moment or the system).
The last picture is us hanging from the bar at the end of the match. |
