The 1x1x35 C-Channel was create by our team because we noticed the need for it in our current VEX designs. It is half the width of an ordinary C-Channel, giving more space for other things on you robot such as delrin bearings and wheels. There is no notch at the fifth hole unlike most C-Channels because those holes need to be filled in in order for the C-Channel to have the desired strength demanded by our design. The C-Channel is a strong piece for creating strong structures and frame. It can be used as the main parts of a drive train and the main parts of a lifting arm such as a scissor lift or a 6-bar linkage. In our current robot design, we could use this piece to fortify our six bar. We used CAD to create and make accurate dimensions for the part. Using extrudes and sketches in CAD we were able to create our desired look and design for the new C-Channel.
