Re: Polycord welding

Try a laboratory hot plate for the heat source (use an aluminum plate to protect its surface).

Aluminum structural extrusions (e.g. Bosch Rexroth) provide channels of approximately the right size for alignment.

I've never tried to weld it in place. The robot was designed so that the belts could be installed later. We just guessed long with the length, and would have re-welded it if it was too loose.
