VEX Angles

Creating a 22.62 degree angle

While building R2-IQ, I found the need to create different angles.  One way to do that is to connect two plates together with pins in various locations.

Using the red and gray plates pictured here with 1 blue pin and 4 yellow pins (pins shown twice, once in each plate) will create a 22.62 degree angle.  Both plates are pictured from above; do not flip them when assembling.

Below is a chart showing different angles that can be created, by leaving the blue pin in the same location and moving the yellow pins to other locations.
