Re: Fabrication

One problem I have seen is that some teams have a really nice bot but don't even know how to make a simple rod on a lathe (manual or cnc). They ship out even on stuff that your grandma (assuming your grandma isn't skilled in fab) could make in a few minutes.

If you (the team) want to ship it all out, fine. Just make sure your students (as a collective) don't look like idiots when a rod snaps at competition and someone brings you metal stock.
