Thanks for the honorable mention. After our printed frame cracked week 1 we knew we had to step away, regrettably, from all printed robots. We had a few printed parts for our pickup mechanism but they didn't survive Palmetto. We still have no metal though... All pultruded fiberglass. Fell in love with the stuff. Light and durable.
