Hey guys, what are cursed images from your robotics career? Here is one of mine: [IMG-20191106-WA0002]

At first I was like: what wrong? Then I was like: O H N O (At the behest of a fellow forum user :)) Those white spacers… THEY DO NOT BELONG THERE!!!

Sorry I’m not a builder but why not? Edit; thank you @Railgunawesome . I guess I should add this then [image] These were later changed to black spacers though ▶ Then this one isn’t really cursed, but Its not nice to look at

Why not? If done right, boxing c-channels with spacers, could add a lot of structural rigidity to the base. ▶ And, speaking of the cursed images... [ouch] It was a very late night addition just the before the competition and it worked just as bad as it looked - falling apart after several qualifi…

The white spacers dont fit Or at least they’re not supposed to Edit: I made some fit but they didnt fit when I tried it before. Maybe piece sizing?

[image] Special partially threaded screw joints and HS gear bearings using modified 393 output gears spacers are slightly rounded with a grinder wheel to fit the shape of the newer 60T gears): [DR4B-GearSide1] ▶ Grinding wheel magik!

Technically Vex is selling thinner nylon spacers now instead of the white ones (though they haven’t changed the pictures) and they fit.

This picture was actually taken prior to us finishing the mechanism. We eventually connected a sprocket and chain to the motor to power the gears seen in the background.

I just recently did this to a craftsman bit trying to get a screw off that my team leader broke a bit putting in [image] Took a while to get that screw off

JUST :clap: CUT :clap: A :clap: SLOT :clap: AND :clap: USE :clap: A :clap: FLATHEAD :clap:

Grinding wheel magik!

Ground sides are marked with a black sharpie to make it easier to find special modified spacers.
