Re: pic: 1251 Machined Parts

Dang...some outstanding stuff. Makes our angle aluminum, plexiglass and sheet aluminum robot look a bit primitive. We work about 20 hours per week, have no CAD facilities, abilities, mentors, do all our "machining" via Mark 2 Eyeballs via drill press, hand sander, hand drill, chop saw and hand tools. We may not be pretty but we're always in the game to the last second of the last match. Not a whine, just an observation as I read a post earlier where a guy was ranking teams as A Level, B Level, C Level. Sometimes it makes me quite distressed as we work in 1/2 a weight room splitting it with the weight lifting guys. I go back and think about why I'm coaching this team. Not for the prettiest robot, not for the top finish EVERY year, but the competition, friend making, and impression that FIRST gives my kids! I still love your robot parts and frankly wish we could do the same sometimes. Good luck in the comp!
