For teams that use extensive CAD, water jetting is the way to go. You will have identical parts for your competive and practice robots. You can also have spare parts that will fit exactly.

Cadding the entire robot takes time in the 6 week build season. Rapid manufacturing balances out this initial investment in time.

We still use a lathe & mill to manufacture drivetrain parts, and intake rollers etc. so we have lots of opportunities to teach interested students those skills.
