Re: Laser Cutter And FRC
We have a Versalaser that is handy for all sorts of things. It sees very little use for the FRC robot itself, but we use it for small mini-sumo robots for class projects and for engraving giveaways. We have done 1/4" ABS on it but it did not turn out great. Right now I have a problem where the laser is weak and struggling to cut 1/8" acrylic. Need to check it out and get it fixed.
