Holy mother of grippers that thing is huge!

That gripper is simply beautiful! Believe it or not, it looks a lot like ours...

Only one problem: The actuator lifting it in the photo isn't legal for competition...

No, Paul can be bought by any team

Is that a single 2" bore cylinder actuating the claw?

Well, we informed him about the "Swiss cheese method" of weight reduction, but he thinks it's a diet.

As for control, like all American males, he is one with the TV clicker we are using this year.

NICE GRIPPER
Does the arm and gripper go up high enough to reach the rack to put the ball on at the end of the game?

I want a paul. How hard is it to program him? Can we use mplab, or is it easyC only?

Nice design though. I'll have to show it to some of our guys, see if we don't borrow your idea

Paul comes complete with wife and kid. It's difficult to keep the weight and height limitaions witin compliance.

Jetweb · #12 27-01-2008, 23:42

BIG claw, Little Bot. Should be interesting.

The hardest part is figuring out where to plug in the serial cable.

Wow that is really one huge gripper.
The question is though, how much time does it take until it grips the ball and gets hold of it ?

And of course, is there compliance with the limitations of dimensions ?

Does he run off a 12V battery? How about a 7.2V one? What about the RC? Does he fit in the box?
