Couple more handy items

Two more deliveries today, one of 'bot parts and one piece of gear that brings back some memories! Hit Back after viewing an image.

One of the things stolen in California was our Pelican case we took to each and every competition, stuffed to the gills with tools and parts. We found a wonderful deal (with free shipping!) on a Pelican 1610 case, which is airline-friendly, and snapped it up. Now I need to start collecting 'bot team stickers again to adorn it with ...

An order from SDP-SI came in today, so now we have drive train sprockets for Nihilistic Naysayer 0.9 as well as it's weapon pulleys and belt.

One of the only issues we have with the SDP-SI web site is that it doesn't list the weight of parts they sell. We weren't sure how much weight to budget in our design for the 12lb drumbot for sprockets so we were eager to find out what they weighed: 2.8 ounces.

Same thing with the weapon timing pulleys ... we had budgeted a quarter of a pound, so it was nice to see them come in at 2.4 ounces. The weapon pulleys and drive sprockets together barely weighed more than our budget, so we're still good on weight.
