 There is almost always more than one solution to any engineering problem. One part of elegant design is picking the one that makes the most sense for a particular design problem, even if that means "breaking" some normally established "rules". - Jeff Pahl [more] |

This is all we have so far... interesting, huh? Any guesses?
Sorry if I bore you.

those looks like rollers for polycord or something....powered assist ramp? (think conveyor belt)

This one really baffles me.... Even if you were collaberating that is a lot...

They're probably wheels, (my guess is 4") and you're using a new tread material this year.

Probably pulleys or something for an arm? or an elevator lift?

NO way I'll figure out what these are.. I'm blinded by the sum, and can't see them apart.
"bore"

Pulleys to drive an elevator arm? (Forklift style)

Re: pic: 968 - A few unfinished parts
A few hints...
#1 They are 7075 aluminum.
#2 They will be hex broached, but that will NOT make them finished.

My money's on Drive Sprockets for #25 chain. The double ones are for the center wheel, and the single ones are for the front and back wheels.

Re: pic: 968 - A few unfinished parts
I think the little ones with the rounded edges are the shooter, they fire balls into the goal, and I think the pulley's are for bring the balls to the shooter, with polycord and maybe some of that high traction stuff IFI uses

Yah ....... this year is the one with the innertubes and the "rack".

Parts of a pulley system that will manipulate your tubes?

Re: pic: 968 - A few unfinished parts
Half of those look an awful lot like our hubs for the KoP AndyMark wheels, and the other half look like pulleys, though they seem small for that application.
Whatever they are, they sure are shiny.

Clearly they're just a bunch of spinning tops that 968 is giving away at competition.

Stay tuned for the gearboxes and drivetrain. All I can tell you is that the only steel you will find is in the bearings, chain, and hardware. Oh, and very little 6061 aluminum was used.

Without electronics, ~25 lbs

Half my team was scared when they found out you guys were coming to L.A.... but, you may see some rather familiar things on our robot....

Re: pic: 968 - A few unfinished parts
IMO they look like Aluminum sprockets and pulleys? The bevel makes me think that the thin ones are going to be sprockets, just waiting for teeth to be cut. I think the drive system is unrelated to these parts personally, maybe a manipulator design?
