u drill into the c-channel and then put on a high strength bearing flat

Where can I buy hs bearing flats?

uh there on the vex website but i get mine from i-design solutions

Or, the HS shafts are a millimeter or two shorter than normal shafts. You can put 2 bearings on inward facing c channels, and the shaft will free spin nicely provided it’s the right size.

HS shafts are 0.25” wide and vex square holes are only 0.182” so it’s necessary to drill a hole, unless you want to try hammering it

Great metal-saving idea as long as the shaft doesn’t carry too much weight… which it probably does if you’re using HS. Anyway, let’s not get too off-topic.

This works too but it’s better practice to have it go all the way through

Yea I know.

some of us dont have a drill press or even a drill and for those people that option is beter

Go for it then :slightly_smiling_face:

Just make sure the metal is clamped firmly to the press though. Metal has a tendency to catch when it is being drilled. At the high speeds of a drill press, a spinning c-channel could be VERY bad news for the operator or anyone else who is in the room.

Not a problem if he

This looks like turning point, not tower takeover… but regarding “some of the rules”, Notes 1 and 2 of rule G12 (of the turning point game manual) make it pretty clear that “vigorous interactions” from the center platform would be expected, and damaged robots from such interactions would not be penalized. Based solely on this image, not knowing anything else about the match, it looks like normal “vigorous interactions” took place. Bummer for the damaged robot, but appears to be within the rules.

I am very confused, why are you using my image for this? Are the team that we are on top of because if so all this is legal and you are the ones who tried to flip us so that is on you. Also listen to @kmmohn who has explained the rules on why this is legal.

Or school normally uses rapid Wu receive but not always. However you get it cheaper on rapid

That’s a nice compliant wheel prototype you’ve got there

I was about to ask why this wasn’t on cursed images, but realized it was. :rofl: How does one even achieve such an abomination?

Rubber band machine gun.
