May I formally introduce you to: the S.S. DUCKY!!!
Where’s the MoGo Mech?
I like the name but why not use shaft collar in to star drive screw trick? I’ll show you what I mean in a sec
Because I’ve never heard of it? I don’t see the appeal. It seems useful, but takes up more space.
It’s on a pneumatic cillandar if you didn’t know ( excuse the spelling)
Ooooh. We don’t… have pneumatics.
Sorry just an idea. (Twenty characters)
It’s no problem! We did what we could with no pneumatics or flex wheels
On your drive I would recommend having another c-channel on the outside for extra protection and 2 points of contact
I would advise you add bearing flats. Bad things happen without bearing flats.
On what? We have them on basically everything where you would need it
I think what @Entropy is referring to is the lack of bearings on the outside channel on your drivetrain. Since the axles on your drive are pretty much constantly moving, without bearings the axles will slowly but surely grind out the holes in the channel to the point where it serves no structural purpose anymore.
Maybe the bearing flats are on the inside
How do you align your mobile goal?
If rings go over the conveyor belt, make sure to make your hooks actual hooks instead of just standoffs
Add cross-braces (C-channels running all the way across the drivetrain)
Plates are okay for things that you want to bend or don’t care about strength
Nice robot
Better than mine (or it feels like that. My first event was a middle-school-only signature event in California and my team just got asked to score one ring, defend the positive corner, and prevent wallstake scoring.)
What does the S.S. stand for?
Also I’m wondering where the brain is
what is the length of it in inches
If they are on the inside side of the channel, they are not attached by screws, zipties, or any fasteners, which is essentially the same thing as not having them at all.
Brain on the underside, S.S is like a ship
It does have cross braces, the rings go along the underside of the belt on a ramp, and yes, it does have bearing flats on the inside
