following the directions for building a practice field, i made this. the trailer was done yesterday, and i made the orbit balls today and combined them. some of the building instructions had errors, such as the required length of the 3/8-16 bolt for the wheel axles needs to be at least an inch longer. if you want the files for download, just pm me. (files are in Inventor 2009 format)

Nice model. This looks like it fits about 30 cells/rocks. Is that correct?

I'd reduce that max capacity a bit for a more realistic value.

Take away 5 on top, but re-add them on the attached poles.
~20 seems realistic to me when you think that way.
Also, as a side not to PacoLikeTaco, I see you modeled the tower with the fabric on it going by the team's version to build one.
The actual tower where the fabric is located is not a half cylinder, but rather a full one.
Just thought I would throw that out there if you want a TRUE model of the Trailer.

Good catch.
Edit: I had to come back & add some more thoughts after that statement actually sunk in.
If too many Moon Rocks are in the trailers, then some trailers won't even have room for Super Cells at the end of the game.
That could prove to be interesting.

Re: pic: Trailer, filled with random cells
Even though the trailers have the capacity for 20 cells, it is very improbable that this will actually ever happen in a match. It would be nice though...

Never doubt something in FIRST unless you like being shocked & amazed.

Re: pic: Trailer, filled with random cells
meh, i made those original cells without actually measuring them, i was just trying to get the shape right. i guess i can remake them, as it shouldnt take too long.
i think it may have been difficult to download 47 files separately, so i zipped them all to one file, @ http://www.filefactory.com/file/a017..._and_cells_zip

Re: pic: Trailer, filled with random cells
Well that now means that more can fit. My guess, even though we saw a few teams do it already would be about 45 balls at max, with them hooked on the outside, in a match. Not just the max over all, only in a match.

Re: pic: Trailer, filled with random cells
okay, so i remade the cells to be slightly (within .25") of a 9" diameter sphere.
again, here is the link to all of the files: http://www.filefactory.com/file/a01a...ls_resized_zip
