New aluminum extrusions for robot building
One of our mentors (Gary Klein, formerly of Klein Bicycles) started a business last year where he contracted with an extrusions company to make an assortment of very useful aluminum extrusions. He has added new ones this fall. The web site http://www.robotextrusions.com/ has all the details on each piece. We have been using them to build all sorts of drive trains and robot sections.

Getting the word out to all the teams has not been easy. Our team is helping his business market the pieces, so if you want more info not contained on the web site let me know.

We can furnish CAD files for all the pieces too.
