Yes, we are 3d printing all of the ICs as well 
We use our flux capacitor in a non-traditional manner to speed up the chemical and physical reactions occurring in our robot and 3d printer allowing us to print a robot complete with electronics in under 5 seconds leaving us 10 seconds to stack the yellow totes. We decided it would be too ambitious and unrealistic to stack the gray ones as well |
I love the idea, but 3d printing an actuator that meets FRC standards (that is, a list) sounds pretty steep. To my ears, "How do you 3-d print a COTS part?" sounds a lot like "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
