I think that everyone should just take a step back and look at the whole picture, FIRST is a family, not an organization full of regions, we all try to help each other, not 'cause it benefits us, but because it's graciously proffesional. - Mike Schroeder [more] |

Re: pic: 350 arm
it looks heavy; are those sprocket steel?
And wood, heavier that aluminum for the same strength, am I safe in assuming this is a prototype?
Looks strong though, Probably looks really cool in action.
Edit: is that a window motor driving a kit gearbox I see? Clever!

yes it is heavy, this pic was taken before we started drilling weight reducing holes
yes it's a steel sprocket
no it is not a protoype, we don't have enough money/ time to build it from metal
yes it is strong
and yes it is a window motor driving a kit gearbox. The gear ratio on the second stage part of the arm is 1:16. That window motor will lift the second stage no problem.
due to weight we decided to take out one of the sprockets
