Gadget:

From the final Team UpdateARTS FABRICATION AFTER EVENTS
In order to better allow teams to replace robot components that fail or do not work well at
competition events, FIRST will adopt the following:
1. At the competition events, teams can build whatever they want:
• Spare parts;
• Replacement parts;
• Extra parts;
They must be fabricated on-site utilizing available fabrication resources. We are,
however, concerned about the potential for teams to over-utilize the competition machine
shop in the fabrication of new parts when the shop should be dedicated to repairing parts
required to keep robots running and able to participate. Therefore, a machine shop’s top
priority will be repairing parts with fabrication as time allows
2. After each event in which a team participates, the team has until midnight Wednesday
(local time) immediately following their event to repair and/or fabricate new
mechanisms and may bring these parts and mechanisms to any subsequent events.
As
before, we must rely on the gracious professionalism of teams to adhere to the rules of
the FIRST Robotics Competition.

As for a picture of the guides: These were made immediately after the event in my basement on my own lathe out of my kitchen cutting board!!
