Re: pic: Spectrum Sheet Metal Parts 2014
This is really our first year of having a majority custom sheet metal robot. We started our relationship with our sponsor last year but since they were the ones doing the bending and cutting our turn around times were to long for a lot of parts we could make our selves. This year since one of our students interned with them and is able to do most of the labor we are able to get parts back much faster.
The robot actually only has 27 unique laser cut parts, and only 14 of them have bends. We reuse a lot of parts in different places and try to design flat parts as much as possible to save time. We'll probably have to redesign a few parts but that run was pretty much the last one we needed to get two full robots.
