I was asked by one of my sister teams to post this up here, the build is a 5:1 ratio with lots of elastic assist, no hanging because of the low ratio and elastics
Nice robot. It “appear[s] capable.” I’d suggest covering the top of the claw motors with some plexiglass on standoffs so that nothing can get to the motor wires. It could save some trouble down the line.
Also, it’s a good reveal video. Except that I’d like to know where to send the neurologist’s bill, as soon as I get over my flicker-induced seizure. Some people really can’t take much in the way of flicker. Read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosensitive_epilepsy TL;DR – flicker causes some people to become ill.
So thanks for not keeping up the flicker for very long at a time. For those intent on trying a flicker seizure, click here:
[EXTREME SEIZURE WARNING]
for a slightly faster seizure experience. Otherwise, very similar feel. (Warning text from youtube poster, not me.)
Serisously, though, good video.
Ill send your reguards on to the editor, again this isnt my video however i am familiar with the robot, thanks for the input
