Re: Practical 3D printed parts

This year 4183 has had access to an laser cutter that is housed in the same work space as us, and it has been extremely useful. This year instead of ordering our gussets and waiting for a week before they come in and we decide we need something different, we have been able to make plywood gussets in minutes and immediately attach them. We have our practice bot held together by these plywood gussets.
