Re: CNC Routers
The best thing to use a router to do is gusset plates and polycarb. It's great to be able to do these things in house and is a good addition to a shop if you can't afford a full cnc. However, if you can afford one, a haas or even a tormach will beat it any day for speed and accuracy. The router typically has the advantage for size.
The cnc mill will give you the capabilities to do all of the things you mentioned. CNC mills are great for all robotics applications and if you have the money for one, I'm sure you will be happy with it.
I would recondite talking to the lead mentor of 973, Adam Heard. I know they built their own cnc router, and love it. For a better idea about the capabilities you will have with it, talk to him.
