 The part I like best is your method of transfering the torque via the balls. Very elegant. - Joe Johnson [more] |

CRAZY MAN!
At first I thought this was a doctored photo, but close inspection and thinking about the title of the picture made me finally "get it"
Very cool hanging style.

That's one robot that won't fall of the bar easily. Our battery is half in an aluminum tray and there's velcro straps over the top to hold it in and allow quick changes. One end of the velcro is pop riveted to the tray.

Yeah that was my funky idea to curl instead of pulling up. It allowed us to use the same joint for ball handling and hanging, thus eliminating some wgt. Even though I believe we are still at around 130.5 lbs at ship, A little more drilling and we'll have it. The latching mechanism was the trickey part, we only had about a pound left to design it, so that eliminated motors & air. We actually use gravity as force used to actuate the latch, since we are rotating. It seems to work well. Stop by and see us at the Great lakes or Western.

Good Idea, i think we should put our numbers on the bottom. Our a sign that says "If you can read this, we just scored 50"
