Seriously, looks 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.
agreed.
NOTHING on our robot is welded.. yet? maybe if we have time we might reinforce. cnc? um... yeah. we have one. we used it for one piece on our robot? maybe...
its all about how accurate your eye is on our robot.. and alot of washers
