Re: pic: Simbotics' Quad Quandary Rings
I'm somewhat dubious as to whether any robots will actually be able to pick up those rings. Unlike the FRC Ringers the FTC rings are hard and inflexible - meaning that the manipulator needs to flex in order to provide some grip. But finding a nice flexible rubber in the vex kit might be hard.
Then again, I'm sure someone will prove me wrong... ![]() |

Re: pic: Simbotics' Quad Quandary Rings
there are plenty of ways to grip, using the VeX kit and allowed accessories

Lathe????
Why not miter/chop/radial_arm saw? Blake |

Re: pic: Simbotics' Quad Quandary Rings
When using a lathe you get a more uniform ring with minimal amount of sanding needed, however, with a miter/chop/radial saw, you may not get a perfect cut every time.

Re: pic: Simbotics' Quad Quandary Rings
Looks very professional. I strongly suspect Simbotics will score an obscene amount of those this year. Of course while possessing all four goals. Last year their robot accomplished every single aspect of the game challenge better than any other robot.

Re: pic: Simbotics' Quad Quandary Rings

Re: pic: Simbotics' Quad Quandary Rings
Did you use spray paint to paint the rings or what. It's a very uniform coat.
