Let the fire sale begin :eek:
What’s everyone going to do with the REGOLITH now that build season is over.
We have 10 sheets and we are willing to sell these real cheap to someone.
Unfortunately, I believe the market will be flooded with partially used REGOLITH.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I was thinking we would line the walls of our new practice field.
the problem is going to be shipping…unless you sell to a team very close to you, the shipping costs are going to kill any savings a team would gain from buying used pieces
I’m sure your local off-season competitions could use some donations (whether 100% or reduced cost) of any Regolith material you could spare.
Who says that FRP fiberboard won’t be a part of the field for the 2010 challenge? It is waterproof after all…
It could be used for wall panelling in a shop area…
That’s what I’m thinking!
If anyone in Southern California has any they’re looking to unload for cheaper, we might be in the market for some.
Anyone who builds practice robots would love cheap regolith…
2010 bot built from regolith anyone? Not sure about its building properties, but it would certainly look awesome.
and weigh a ton also lol
Earlier this year we were using 1 1/2" PVC Conduit left over from the big tetrahedrons (2005 game) as rollers on our prototype intake system.
Then, after breaking the pinion gear when mounting a 25:1 bb tranny on to an FP motor, we had to pull apart the 5:1 bb tranny from our 2006 practice robot’s shooter to replace it on short notice. We also used some of the door skin left over from the goal that year in one of our prototypes.
And the grippy liner that we roll the balls against happens to be some floor underlay made from recycled tires… itself recycled from a left over home renovation project.
So I wouldn’t be surprised to see the FRP have some value in the future… although ten sheets might be a bit excessive. Maybe your could take it to your first regional and give it to rookie teams to put in their pits so they can work on their traction control in their pit area. Throw in a couple volunteers to help them out with a bit of code, and it would be a great way to welcome the rookies to FRC.

EDIT: Not to imply some rookies won’t be traction controlling our butts all over the floor… but others will certainly appreciate the help.
