The org I’m in (295) does this and one time we forgot about the gears on the stove and all that was left was the metal cores 😭

watching this for high stakes💀

How did you get the light blue color on those gears at the start of the video? The teeth still look green so I'm wondering if you just put masking tape around the teeth and spraypainted the center or if there is a reliable way to get that color with dye. Thanks!

How good will dyeing the parts white turn out

Do you think i could dye the green gears a light blue

good soup

cringe and not very good (in my opinion)

where the new reveal!?!?!?!?

where did they go

“Good soup” - somebody probably

How long does it usually take

OK VEX teams, please please please do not do this in your parent's kitchen! If you want to risk an acetone explosion and dying a kitchen with permanent black dots, wait until you buy your own house to ruin and you have your own health insurance to pay for your emergency room visit. Do this outside in the grass on an old chair with an electric hotplate (old coffeemaker or the like) and NOT on an open flame gas burner. Acetone is highly flammable. It evaporates at room temp but the heating source makes it rapidly boil off. This is why you have to add more after you do another batch of parts - it all boils off. There will be a lot of flammable vapor - another reason you need to do this outside. Please wear safety goggles or a full shield facemask so at least your eyes don't get burned out if something does go wrong. You need to control the temp so the mixture (mainly the water) doesn't boil over out of control. You can easily do this with a double boiler setup - put water in a pot and heat that directly, then put another pot in the boiling water with the dye. Doing this, your dye mix won't get over 200 degrees and the water in the mix itself will never boil (the acetone will boil but not the water). Make sure your pots are twice as deep as your solution so there is no chance of boilover. Boilovers can cause ignition of the acetone. When you add more acetone/water mix, it will rapidly boil/foam up multiple inches above the existing solution. You should be very afraid if a boilover happens - run away and disconnect the power to the hotplate. You can use stainless steel pots and tongs, the dye will not stain them. Although your mom will probably get upset if you try to use her expensive Caphalon pots. Look at the Rit Dye bottle in the video and buy the Dye More version. This is a synthetic dye. Regular Rit dye will not work. We mixed about 4 oz of dye and 4 of acetone in 8oz of water to start out, then added more acetone/water (50:50 mix) with the 2nd and 3rd batch of gears. Green gears dye within minutes, but red gears take 10 to 15 mins. We left the red gears in the bottom and just cycled the green gears in/out and pulled the red gears out last. Lay the dyed gears out on an old towel and let them dry overnight. Then the next day wash the gears with soap, water, and a toothbrush to clean off any non-absorbed latent dye so you won't dye your hands handing them. Good luck!

lol noob

is that l4ser music?

You should try to do this with a steering wheel

what brand of paint did u guys use and did it have primer built in?

the amount of views on this video is crazy

Blue

How did you guys do at worlds?

Would you be able to share the stats by any chance? (Drive rpm, motors and air cylinders per mechanism)

Looks amazing!!

damn gl we in same div btw ;)

Good to see other teams doing this. First saw this on 62A a while ago. Good job, good video.

Pffft that would suck to be in a division with these guys😂 Wait, we are in their division😦

Good luck guys! See you there

sheesh! see you at worlds :)

New goal cover?

glad to see other teams doing this. first saw it on 62A a while ago. good job, good video.

Sam going for the robotics triple crown

Ah yes, my favorite robotics team, Semicolon! Good luck at worlds! Slay!

Ready to see this guy in action in Dallas 😼

impressive!

Why the acetone?

imagine if the floatation didn't workk

Holy smokes, thanks for this tutorial! I cant wait to repaint Provolone dark blue with this grountbreaking technique. Immaculate work gentleman.
