Featuring an under-the-bumper, double-sided intake, a pivoting launcher with a diverter to allow for amp and speaker shots, and a single telescoping climber, 3005 is proud to present our 2024 robot: Surge
Well actually, they are not carbon fiber. while they may look similar, the material we are actually using is called SRPP(self-reinforced polypropylene). The reason we are using SRPP is to replace Polycarbonate, as SRPP is less dense, has higher tensile stiffness, is Loctite resistant, and laser cuttable. also there is little to no accuracy benefit from SRPP than from Polycarbonate. : )
Hi, we saw your robot at Kettering AllStar Alliance and had a great conversation with one of your team members abour SRPP. Are you able to share more here about sourcing, lessons learned, etc.?
