Re: Laser Cutter And FRC

I don't have the specific make and model available, but we have a laser cutter in our shop (and are getting a 2nd). We make significant parts of our robot from laser cut plastics -- mostly delrin and ABS, though we'll cut polycarbonate as well since our laser cutter is vented.

Take a look through the galleries here if you want to get an idea for how we do things. Our 2013 robot was made almost entirely from sheets of ABS.
