Fingertech Robotics - Wheel Updates - Step 6 - Final Product

"This where the product development is at so far.  We have put together a few of these chassis and given them to local groups to use and test.  We are also taking one to RoboGames 2011 (www.robogames.net) next week to see how it does…"

Fingertech Robotics - Wheel Updates - Step 5

"Here is a prototype platform.  The baseplate is cnc routered from garolite.  Garolite is a great material.  It is what circuit boards are made of, without the copper, and in a nice selection of colors (even camoflage!).  It is…"

Fingertech Robotics - Wheel Updates - Step 4

"After spraying mold-release into the mold (but before inserting the hub - we don't want the tire coming off!), the 2-part urethane was mixed, degassed, and poured into the molds.  The yellow is the natural color.  A little red dye…"

Fingertech Robotics - Wheel Updates - Step 3

"The previously casted hubs are fastened to the center of the white cups, then the grey tubing is slid into that to give the proper outside diameter.  The trouble was that the white endcaps were not perfectly round, so the h*** we made with the…"

Fingertech Robotics - Wheel Updates - Step 1

"This is how it starts.  Once we had decided on a design, I turned a rod of (black) delrin into the right shape to be molded.  Note that we decided to keep it simple.  These hubs do not include the tire-capturing grooves and tunnels…"

FingerTech Robotics - Cobra Kit

"Hey, nice to see you've found our not-so-secret latest project!  The Cobra minisumo chassis is designed with the intent of beating all the other kit minisumos - every time.  Nothing against the other kits, as they are a great starting…"

"Danny, is it familiar because it is my avatar?  :) This has been my favorite robot video since I first saw it... maybe 10 years ago now? It is not DARPA, so the thread title should be changed.  It was actually a video made to show off the…"

Robogames 2010 - Day 1 - Sumo

"Below are pictures of the bare circuit board that everything was designed to fit onto. The motors get epoxied directly to the board. Below that is what the bot would have looked like minus the front plow, but then we had to older all those extra…"
