Need Ideas on What to CAD Next

After the downfall of our dear season, I have been left with little to do. I would like to do some more CAD models/animations, but I’m not quite sure what to do next. I’ve already done a DR4B, differential, tray, intake, and a few other things. Does anyone have any ideas on what I could animate next?

make a peaucellier lift.

I think I’ve decided on CADing my alliances bots from this season. Thanks for the input, I might do those sometime in the future.

I would love to maybe see some CAD models of different kinds of ratchets or stuff like that. Also, maybe like an 8 bar lift, something enormous. That would be pretty cool to see for an animation.

Here’s a ratchet mechanism I made last year for a variable power puncher. We actually used it and it worked great (we swapped out the axle for high-strength though)

(don’t mind the sketch bot, we built it a few weeks before US Open because we realized a cap bot wasn’t going to be competitive)
