shocks… shall I say more about it…

#2

Yes say more about it…

Dont make new threads for a heap of new things just 1 make one.

Make some shocks out of a a screw, a spring and a nut.

Metal tank tracks would be heavy, exspensive, and to hard to clip together

#3

you can make custom shocks from common vex items already
larger shocks are redundant because robots will not get that heavy

#4

Pneumatic pistons in the out position could work

#5

or a battery on your tongue :stuck_out_tongue:

#6

now we know what to do with all the dead 9v batts :stuck_out_tongue:

#8

You ever tried putting a few fresh 9 volts in series and then putting the result to your tongue? Well… don’t… all I can say was “I was tired when it happened…”

#9

Freshman year there was a kid at my school who did it with a bunch of 9 volts. He got hurt.

Wow, now there’s something I never thought to try… I have grabbed an electric fence before. My words right before I felt the shock: “I don’t think it’s on-”… Haha, I guess we’ve all done some stupid things in our lifetime. XD

I’ve used these shocks with Vex before; they are sized pretty well for a small-to-medium Vex robot.

Obviously not competition legal, but fun to play with and they look great on the 'bot.
