 It's kind of magical how I went from legos to replacing most of the iron in my blood with aluminum, and all thanks to my elementary school science teacher. - Astrokid248 [more] |

PVC is also a great building material:

Re: pic: 3313 Hammer Time
What are you using to provide force for the hammer? Springs, motors, or just gravity?

Looks really great!
Our team used a similar mechanism in 2008.

Re: pic: 3313 Hammer Time
The initial idea came from 2337 and their 2008 robot. We're powering it in a very different way.
We are using a ToughBox with 2 CIMS. We are using a couple 500 Hex hubs (like in the AM14U) on the hammer and a long 500 hex output shaft from the ToughBox. I'll be honest, not sure on the gear ratio we are using. We bought the ToughBox back in 2011 when I was a rookie head coach.
We may or may not have some Thor theme ideas planned for the robot... By that I mean we definitely do. Haha.

I'm dumb. Didn't notice who posted the 2337 photo. Hahaha.
Thanks for posting that!! Your videos from 2008 were a great inspiration to us!!
Rest assured, we are using PVC for our intake device.

If your robot isn't named Thor I will be most disappointed.
