Re: Anodizing?
There are no anodizing companies within quite a few hours from us, but we've got it done the last few seasons from various ways.
A long time ago, we got buddy teams to throw it in with their stuff.
More recently we had a company 5 hours away do it, we overnighted it to them, they processed the parts, then overnighted back; All I had to do was ask, no negotiation required!
The last time I got a quote on anodizing, it was our 2010 robot with over 150 parts to be ano'd, and they wanted $85. It really is a cheap process. We looked at doing our own tanks a few years ago, but wrote it off when we realized the cost involved (to get enough capacity to actually finish) was enough to just outright pay for our robot to be anodized for the next few seasons.
