Re: Unique Custom Made Parts

We custom made our worm-gearbox for our lift, in order to have it not backdrive. We lathe-d down our pulley in between Center Line and MSC in order to pick up a stack of 4 and thus effectively score 6-stacks. We also used rollerblade wheels on our custom water-jetted lift carriage to prevent binding. We started out using 3D-printed parts to grab tilted-over recycling containers, but they ended up breaking early into the Southfield district.
