imo there should be a pulley system that locks the sliding part when the tray is deployed and disengages the lock when the tray is down. This essentially allows you to have a shorter tray while having the same capacity which is advantageous for easier field navigation.
This is an excellent idea, I will definitely be checking in w/ that google folder occasionally, but I do have one question. How do you plan on getting an exact piece-for-piece cad of these bots? It is unlikely that they will all have other cad files or in-detail videos.

Sometimes having the actual robots helps.

0_0 Iām totally geeking out just looking at that collection. My club always ends up needing to dismantle our bot for parts. (not that we ever have anything worth saving)

Most reveals show enough to fully clone the robots. If I ever get stuck though I will just ask around or do my best to guess on what it actually is.

Just wanted to make an update, the 169A turning point CAD is almost done. It proved to be more difficult then i originally assumed. Here is a Pic from inside the Cad software of how far ivāe gotten.

I made a CAD of their hood mech a few weeks ago and that took me 1-2 hours, the rest of the robot has taken me about 4-5 hours so far including trying to figure out how things work from their reveal. I also messed up and had the flywheel towers an inch too high and didnāt realize until i was almost finished all the ratchets which slowed me down a lot lol.

Nice, I feel like it would be cool if u could do USC TP but I understand if you donāt want to because they arenāt well known and their bot was quite complex, all custom pieces

Has anyone tried to 3D print a robot CAD? If it works out (at smaller scale, obviously), that would make this collection probably one of the best shop display. That way, we can all have lacsaPās robot display shelf in our own way!
