Ok, so it's been a really long time since I updated anything here. Since then I've bought a house, sold it, moved back to Tampa, sold my Replicator 2X, bought a Prusa Mk2, learned how to use a laser cutter, built a small driving chassis with it, adopted 3 cats and had to put one of them down.
Now that you're all caught up here's the big news. I'm quitting mentoring FRC. I no longer have the patience to deal with students on a day to day basis. I will still be volunteering at events as a judge (this year it's looking like just the Houston Championship) But more importantly I'll be starting doing a lot more development of new tools and approaches. That's where the laser cutter and small driving chassis come in. Until recently it was exceedingly expensive to build and test any sort of drivable chassis. Thanks to REV Robotics releasing a new range of FTC targetted parts it became cost effective to build an FTC scale chassis to do software development on. For the time being I have ordered a pair of Talon SRX speed controllers, a CTRE Hero controller board, and the appropriate cables and adapters needed to read the encoders installed in the chassis. The electronics guts will be here shortly. Check back for more details.
I plan to publish parts lists and design files for the chassis so anyone can replicate it. The chassis was originally designed using the Educational version of OnShape so sharing that will be rather easy. I am planning on updating to use more available parts and be cleaner.
It's been a while since I got the #sprintervan back from the guys @vancompass. We used the sprinter as a development / #testmule for their #liftkit, skid plates and rock sliders. here's a little #beforeandafter. Got the wheels powdercoated and fit it with some #bfg tires (at Railtown 1897 State Historic Park)
uh, what? looks to be a @ferrariusa #FF with the front end hastily wrapped and (I'm assuming) engineers inside had some kind of gear mounted on the dash, was also wearing manufacturer plates. #spyshot #testmule #ferrari #whatisit
