Re: Building the Structure of the Robot?

Cutting triangles out of square pieces is very easy with a bandsaw. That's how we made all the gussets for our after-season stinger addition. It also has a huge benefit: it's fast and you don't have to wait for anyone. If you want to match drill them - make all your gussets in advance, clamp them together, then drill through them in one shot with a drill press. Your gussets may not be be exactly the same, but the hole pattern will be.
