5254 builds our robots out of almost exclusively VersaFrame. Our team has very few precision manufacturing resources so our robots are built with basically a chop saw, drill press and hand tools. We use the system for both prototyping and our final designs. Our rookie year we had a low goal only robot with a 6 wheel shifting WCD that was made possible by VersaFrame and the 3 CIM Ball Shifters.
If you want to see examples of how we use the system you can look at our
2016 Engineering Notebook (Or if you want
more memes...)
