Wow.... way to bring back an old thread....

Anyways, my team typically builds about 95% of our robot on our own. A few parts, such as gears for our transmission and a few other parts are done by outside shops, but the rest of it is designed and built by our students and our teacher. This year, a little less is being done by us, since all the aluminum for our frame is being welded by GM (we don't have the tools to do it ourselves), but we are building the steel prototype ourselves. Basically, we're gonna build it all ourselves first, then swap out the steel for aluminum to save weight.
