FRC 2023 Charged Up Field

thingiverse

Printable field for 2023 Charged Up Game. Scale is 1:30.48 (foot-centimetre). Use raw 1.75mm filament in hinges on charge station and single substation. * Each charge station uses one top, one base, one hinge, and two ramps. * Double substations require two shelves. * The field requires five guardrails and two barriers. I printed these black on the bottom and then changed colour to clear. I'm using these magnets: * https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NRH97D9/r * https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XMHCLYG/ The double substation is the last bit I did, and I'm not entirely happy with it. The shelf does not slide easily, but adding some lubricant helps. The top spans are too long to work well without fixing them up with a heat gun. They're a little prone to breakage. To make the base, I used an Ikea SVENSÅS memo board, but any steel sheet will do. Print and trim the PDF, and stick down with glue or clear contact paper. The robots are pretty boring, and represent starting position volume. I plan to design some articulated robots, but my experience is that they don't stand up to much abuse.
