AndyMark, Inc. aims to support and grow robotics education and innovative mechanical design for mobility applications. Here on our RU-vid channel we would like to provide assembly instructions and showcases for our products.
I have successfully drilled through acrylic near corners and edges by starting with a very small, less than 1/16", drill bit and gradually working up to the desired diameter.
Why is the grease red? I have a toy robot but instead of greeasing the gearbox, I wash all the grease off and it still works properly. Looks like it doesn't need grease. Why would the toy factory put grease inside of the toy robot's gearbox if it doesn't need grease? There is no need for grease in my toy robot's gearboxes!
To continue learning about building different FTC mechanisms, I'd suggest reading and watching our Robits informational content. There are other videos in this video series that covers other mechanisms, and our documentation is 🔗linked below. www.andymark.com/pages/how-do-i-use-robits There are also a ton of community resources that you can access! The FTC Discord and Reddit are worth a look for ideas and solutions to problems you may having, and the links below are other resources that teams and volunteers have produced! www.firstinspires.org/resource-library?flagged=All&combine=&field_content_type_value%5B0%5D=first_tech_challenge&field_resource_library_tags_tid=All&sort_by=created_1 gm0.org/en/latest/ ftc18225.everstem.org/resources
I would been interested of how the light comes out of sides comparison. I want to scratch a picture with laser and light it. Can you do that with polycarbonate?
It is much better to use a laser on Acrylic. Using a laser on polycarbonate can release toxic fumes and be very dangerous. To shape and etch poly, use cutting tools eg. saws, routers, or even scissors if the poly is thin enough. If using the cutting tools to etch/engrave the polycarbonate, lights will catch and light up the cuts, but the efficacy depends on the size of the area you are trying to light and the strength of the LED.
"This will cure after an amount of time." Oh, " after an amount of time"? I hope it wasn't too much trouble for you to not look that amount of time up. What about reusing thread-locked screws? Helpful video, but not very helpful. 👎
Or you can just use a bi-directional anti backdrive clutch which has no need for silly servos or pneumatic nonsense and just automatically locks up when the motor cuts off power.
another excellent offering from AndyMark. With the one year anniversary around the corner, I wonder what will be the next innovation in cutting edge ultra-mechanisms? 🤔
For the bench board in the background, please add a breaker. I get that this may just be a prop, but especially in an instructional video about wiring, it is important to stay safe.
The Climber in a Box is compatible with many different motors. This video features a CIM - Paired with a 16:1 CIM Sport. Below is a list of recommended reductions for whichever motor you may have on hand utilizing our CIM Sport and 57 Sport planetary gearboxes. These recommendations are based on one climber and one robot and are based on the minimum safety factors for the motors, gearboxes, and other components. Utilizing two climbers instead of just one may allow for lower ratios. RedLine - Paired with 48:1 57 Sport Mini CIM - Paired with a 20:1 CIM Sport CIM - Paired with a 16:1 CIM Sport NEO 550 - Paired with a 36:1 57 Sport NEO - Paired with a 16:1 CIM Sport Falcon 500 - Paired with a 12:1 Falcon Sport If you need any more information you can view the product page on our website or message us directly at support@andymark.com 🔗: www.andymark.com/products/climber-in-a-box
This is a video about a small part of this year's FIRST Robotics game, Crescendo. FRC is a high school competitive robotics league in which the game changes every year and teams only have a few weeks to build a robot to compete. If you think this seems cool you should check out what the teams are doing!
Watch some RU-vid videos of 2023 (or prior years) Einstein finals, it’ll give you a good idea of what FRC is about. The game design and objectives are new every year, so the robot designs need to be different every year. The world championships bring about 10k+ people to Houston every year, between team members, mentors and family supporters.
Get real with that title. Wasted what little time I have trying to get this pinion pressed before work, not gonna buy a $80,000 machine to press one pinion one time.
The assembly for the 1 stage climber and the 2 stage climber winches are different, on account of there being a 0.5 inch difference in the extrusion they are meant to envelop. This video is only meant to exhibit the best way to tie the rope. If you are still having issues assembling your climber after reading the assembly instructions at the link below, please message us directly at support@andymark.com 🔗: bit.ly/3UBlnLd
Honestly, not in love with the design of the build system at first glance. Would recommend Actobotics or goBILDA (with Actobotics being better imo). Would also encourage exploring custom built robots for CENTERSTAGE to learn more about the engineering design process that goes into any machine. Definitely am excited to see another build system enter the market to hopefully create more competition and strive for innovation.
