Re: pic: What are we up to?

You are making super powered, CIM driven, Dewalt drills with Andy Mark transmissions. You plan on drilling through something very hard, so you need a super powered drill. And then you want to drill through aluminum very quickly, so you flip your AM Gen2 into high gear and boar out a hole big enough to put your new 3" pneumatic piston in.

3 Speed x 2 Speed = 6 Speed!?

You made the mistake of flying somewhere with four drills and a robot. This is what was left after the TSA "inspected" your luggage.

Re: pic: What are we up to?

oh boy you could do lots of things!!!
possibly all the gearing solutions you need:
fisher price and globe motors in the dewalts
CIMs on the shifters etc.?
or maybe some crazy dewalt AM hybrid, although that is doubtful!

You're making a swerve/crab.

I wish.... nothing beats the cool factor of a crab; however, 973 is working on a lighter variation of the west coast drive than what we currently use. These are just parts we are considering using for different gearbox options.

My guess is that you just posted a pic of random parts, so you could read the discussion while you laugh at us.

Making the first robot with nothing but Dewalts and a few Andys powered by a flux drive.

Perhaps a highly powerful tread bot for massive defense..... Or perhaps he's making many bots...

Re: pic: What are we up to?

You are building super 6 speed drills powered by CIM motors. This gives Speed Holes a new meaning.

Preparing the machinery to drill several half-holes. (with half-drills, of course). All that's missing are the half-bits... (or, like me, the half wit)

I KNOW!! I KNOW!! Have you MADE the prototype yet?

Breaking whichever gearbox you're putting in the last stage of that reduction?
