It's rather simple: you start with a block of solid and remove material until you just have the robot left. Kind of like making a sandcastle. Only harder.

Horray for knowing CAD, and CNC programming in the upcoming year.

Good luck people. :p

How do you fix it at competitions though??? Is welding considered a fastener? :yikes:

Doesn't the alleged rule just prohibit threaded fasteners?

J-B Weld? Although I prefer this, the elevated temp cure makes it tough to use for quick repairs in the pits :)

Looks like we're going to pull out our Handlheld Ultrasonic Welder. It's been collecting dust since Clark and DJ graduated.

Ah ha! I knew there was a reason a few team members got certified to use PlasmaCAM (basically a CNC machine with a torch) and to weld.

If this does end up in the 2006 rules, CD is in trouble! These are threads, and they are what hold the community together...so CD must be a threaded fastener right?
