I’ve been pretty silent these days and you know why.
AHhhhh! My hands hurt. We’ve already killed 1 out of our 4 drill presses. We’ve got burnt fingers, wounded hands, bloody eyes, and a robot swiss cheesed to the max.
Rome was not built in a day. Good luck to all teams, struggling and tired, during our last weekend stretch.

Swiss Cheesing… well did you get it to the correct weight? Man, everyone is working super hard the last few days… guess it figures… we’re all robot freaks… lol
In the last 24 hours, I have worked 8, worked on the robot for 7, broke for dinner, worked on the robot for 5 more, broke for breakfast, worked for 3 more hours, then came back home. The good news is that we just might be able to make weight without cutting any subsystems.
I know what you mean!!! We are throwing out metal and drilling millions of wholes in are robot.
How much weight is in a 1 inch hole 1 inch deep?
I have all you beat.
come see our convayor belt.
We managed to be only 5-7 lbs overweight. So far we haven’t had to take any major parts off. Good luck to all of you who weighed in a lot over 130.
Still 8 lbs overweight. :eek:
Just finished 14 hour day. Seems to be about done and no holes to drill in at about 110lbs
Anton,
With that many holes will your bot whistle in the wind?Whistle?
Well, in case of our team our robot happened to be the right weight…but:0 we made few holes in the wrong place so (yeah…erm, few) we registered them as lightening holes. I certainly hope that “more than 20” count as “few”
Well, I have worked a 26 hour build session. Yess, 26 hours straight. Right now We still are having major prolems with the drive train. We had a gear box with the mighty chia’s and the drill motors, but the gears stripped. Unfortunately we used brass instead of steal or cast-iron. Has this happened to anyone? On a good note, our worm-driven goal grabber arms are really powerful and robust. They could be dropped off a cliff.

No, that sounds like a very unique problem of yours; I’m sure that hasn’t happened to anybody else. No sirree, I can certainly not think of any other teams that happened to. Definitely none I know of
