** 900RR + aluminum = Tricycle **

[skeptikal Premium Member]

Well in the other thread that I almost jacked I mentioned a tri-cycle that will do 150 mph all day long. i snapped some pictures at work yesterday so you can see what i'm talking about.

It's got a wood frame right now because we are laying out how we want the aluminum to bend. It's been in that state for like a month due to low funding. We figure around $1,500 more in parts (need a front suspension, wheels, and aluminum (which we have on tap at work just gotta pay for it))

Here's Pics!

this project was put on hold for almost 6 months to get the thermodyne inventory system, the polar king tracking system, and the AHI robots done. CHECK OUT http://WWW.VPTAG.COM to see what i mean.

but there is a change of plans...

instead of being all aluminum this thing is going to be basically made of a steal roll cage (think of a dune buggy with 3 wheels). Aluminum is retarded expensive for this project and this thing would end up costing 3x as much as it would this way, so we are using 1/8" thick wall steel tubing.

pics will be up tomorrow, i cant believe this thing is actualy getting built lol. i'll take pictures of the robots (they are next to the trike). w00t w00t get hype!

OH! and I forgot about our 9' long table saw in the polar king shop that i can use whenever i want. I'm gonna snap some pictures of the shop, its a fiberglasser's heaven.... pics of everythign up tomorrow.
