Re: Is powder coating and annodizing worthwhile?
Our manufacturing schedule is such that not everything is ever done all at once.
We make our frames and gearbox plates before we have all our shafts, gears, etc finished, so time spent waiting for anodize/powdercoat to come back usually does not come into play. Sometimes it does however, and you're already committed so you just have to live with it.
We've been lucky enough to have a powdercoat sponsor who normally turns around our parts in under 8 hours and an anodize shop that usually is able to do our parts fairly quickly as well.
It definitely makes a huge difference in terms of making your robot look more professional.
