Scrum machine

Post by Lanzaman »

We are looking at building our own scrum machine as here is no way we can afford to buy one (never mind pay the postage cost!). We have the materials & workforce to put it together, but despite having trawled the internet for hours, I can only manage to get the very basic dimensions of one.

If anyone out there is near a club / training ground in the near future & can either get some photos of a basic scrum machine from different angles with some measurements, or put together a basic diagram, I would be extremely grateful.

Muchas gracias.

Can't be too difficult i'm sure, just a heavy steel frame with pads and a heavy weight. There used to be one kicking around the top pitches at Carrick Grammar. If i get home in time I'll have a nosey.

Can i get paid in Canary Island points please, my method for chosing who wins games isn't doing to good.

You may well have already came across this. It includes 12 photos taken during fabrication but it does not include the finished article. Some CAD images are also included. It was a project undertaken at the USP School of Engineering and Physics - would they respond to an email?

Cheers Cables,

Funny enough, one of the lads brought a print-out of that one to training last night, so we'll have a look & see if we can work it out. If not, as you suggest, a quick email wouldn't do an harm.

Thanks again.
