That's machined badly?!?! In that case, our robot is the embodiment of bad construction. Much of it is hacksawed lengths of various strips or pieces of bent sheet metal or aluminum extrusion. flat metal surfaces epoxied to plastic, motors mounted to diamond plate just because thats what we had lying around... That tri-star wheels is god-like compared to ours.
Seriously, your so called quality of machining isn't terribly important, in my opinion. Not every piece has to be CNC cut and then TIG welded. In many engineering jobs, there isn't the time or the need for good looks and custom made stuff.
