Sheet Metal because lasers and because 148

... In all seriousness though, 148 is my favorite sheet metal team - their robots always look so clean and effective. Raptor has got to be my favorite. I like sheet metal because you can get all kinds of interesting geometry out of it and depending on your shop setup it can be ridiculously efficient to manufacture, especially in large quantities. Plus by gaining strength from the geometry of a part (bends, hems, etc) rather than strictly material thickness you can get away with pretty light parts.
