Hi everyone, My lab designs and builds these robots: [Gliding robotic fish GRACE 2.0 hitting Higgins Lake (Underwater View!)] We did a redesign last year to move from a single shell body to a series of tubes (sort of like the BlueROV). A few of them were the custom length acrylic tubes…

[image] roboFisherman: I would need 4 inch tubes around 490 mm and 3 inch tubes no shorter than 317 mm. The 3" ones should be fine, but 4" may be a problem (I don’t believe the current planned lineup gets that long). I’ve asked internally about the reasoning behind the planned lengths, but I …

Hi @roboFisherman , Nice robots! :smiley: [image] roboFisherman: Since the option to order custom length from BlueRobotics will be gone in the near future, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to source these. Do you know what lengths you’d be interested in, or is the “cust…

Thanks for the compliment and quick reply @EliotBR . Do you know what lengths you’d be interested in, or is the “custom” part essential? As I understand it the incoming locking tubes will be in a range of lengths that will hopefully support the majority of use-cases, and if there’s significant dema…

[image] EliotBR: Out of interest, do you have something that’s 490mm long that needs to fit in a single tube, or is that length determined by the volume of electronics that need to fit in it, or perhaps some external shape requirement? :slight_smile: We have a linear actuator (and control ele…

Fair enough. I suppose the entire thing could be redesigned to be smaller if absolutely necessary, but on the flip-side it’s likely easier to just get some custom tubes manufactured. I’ll get back to you when I’ve got a response from the design engineers on the reasoning behind our current planned …

Thanks! What are the planned lengths by the way?

[image] EliotBR: I’ll get back to you when I’ve got a response from the design engineers on the reasoning behind our current planned lengths :slight_smile: Following up on this, so it’s indeed just based on sales statistics :slight_smile: [image] roboFisherman: What are the planned len…
