Very cool
Do you guys still make all the tube plugs/elevator blocks in-house?

Yep,
The bottle neck isnāt the machining for us, but the labor and kitting of the hardware. Luckily that is no longer an issue. We should have components back in stock in the next 1-2 days.

Likely a naive question from a Software Engineer: Are there ways to export part lists for any of these designs?
Just by navigating the elevators mostly, most of the COTS parts have the part number from the manufacture in the name. But like the COTS rigging for example from Thrifty Bot. Was unsure what exactly that one was.
Onshape does have a BOM that is auto-generated and can be exported as a CSV. It tries to stack identical parts (and show their quantity) but itās functionality is pretty limited; if two identical parts are imported but happen to be created as two separate parts in the part studio, they will be considered different parts in the BOM with their own lines.
The part numbers and names are sometimes pulled in but it depends on how the part was uploaded/imported to Onshape; I wouldnāt rely on it.
Many teams (including 8033) will use a manually created spreadsheet that uses the Onshape BOM as a starting point or reference. Hereās one for our 2023 offseason robot: 2024-8033B Crescendo Cut List - Google Sheets
This allows additional customizability so that we can make everything less confusing and use the BOM sheet for fabrication PM.
Note we also have a seperate sheet that keeps tracks of COTS parts, it looks pretty similar to this but lists vendors and order status instead.

Iām not sure if this has been brought up already, but we get a ssl cert error if you go to https://frcdesign.org, https://www.frcdesign.org works as expected.

We think we stumbled across a broken link, āStage 2A - Basic Shooterā link on āSub-Document Setupā
Got this fixed, thanks for the report

I updated the 4414 low pivot slap down document to get things in folders, label some unlabeled things, and add the sketches into the assembly for demonstration purposes. Feel free to copy it for your own use: Onshape
After awhile of trying to chase down the issue, I believe these cert issues are resolved. This issue hasnt been consistent so feel free to let us know if it pops up again.
www.frcdesign.org should redirect to frcdesign.org aswell.

Any recommendations on where I can find this 2"x1" Tubing? Iāve been checking all the usual sites and either donāt know the name of what Iām looking for (likely), or am looking in the wrong place!
That looks like youād have to pocket it yourself to meā¦
ah. yeah thatād make sense. we might not bother and just stick with some punched tubing
thats just 1/8" tube pocketed to look cool. i would recommend just doing unpocketed 1/16" tube inseason.

ah! okay! Thank you!
Did anyone physically build this elevator? Would love to see it in action. Weāre in progress of building it!
Which elevator design is it. 2 stage? 3 stage?
