The students of 192 have been welding the frame and other parts for most of the team's life. Before you buy determine what you can use. If nobody can teach welding then that would not be a good purchase at this time. The same goes for the mill and lathe. Having said that I feel the lathe and then the mill would be the route that I would recommend. Most of the welding could be replaced with rivets but our students take great pride in the fact that they weld the robot. We are starting to have more success with the 3D printer and should make some more use of it next year.
