I recognize the shop in the background ;)


How many of those were made with the plasma cutter?

Re: pic: N.E.R.D. Trophies
 

12 were made. Plasma cutter makes quick work.

What is this for?

Re: pic: N.E.R.D. Trophies
 

Ouch! Sharp! They look like they'd make rather wicked weapons. If Batman were a n.e.r.d., he'd be in heaven with a couple of those nerd-a-rangs in his utility belt.

These were trophies to be given to teams from all over (not just New England) for their performance based at a New England Regional or Off Season Event.

Teams were chosen by a nomination process by N.E.R.D. members, and then voted upon.

There were 10-12 awards I believe in various categories and some were handed out to winning teams who attended Battle Cry 7 @ WPI this weekend.

Others have yet to be handed out, because they were teams who were not at Battle Cry 7 but who attended and showed a strong dominance in multiple areas at a New England Regional or Off Season in the 2006 year.

Congratulations to every team who won a N.E.R.D. award!

Pics of wining teams and their trophy's handed out at Battle Cry 7 to be uploaded soon when I figure out how and where they should go since they are all on my camera. LOL

From Floridas resident (well sort of) metal sculptor/trophy maker I say, Good job!

Even though they look rather sharp none of our students cut themselves on them.

BTW Andy I didn't catch up with you but wanted to see if you used a CNC Plasma cutter or a transfer jig.

I can answer that one, Scott Shaw and myself created these trophies using a Plasma Cam CNC plasma cutter. This machine is really good for cutting 1/8th inch steel sheets for classes at Watertown High School. Sadly, we only use this machine to prototype designs for robotics.
