Re: Team 95 2017 Build Thread

Started off with a minor disaster. We had a hex bearing come in with the hex bore not concentric, visibly, with the outer race. Very weird to diagnose.

Moving on... parts! Parts are getting made about as fast as we can stand.



We use a CNC plasma cutter, then sometimes a CNC mill, to make a majority of our components. Then we bend them up on a manual finger brake. Even rookies can get the hang of it quickly!



Practice robot drive base is together. Wiring shall start tomorrow!
