Re: pic: 1501 Final Robot - see you at BoilerMaker!

In the summer time, I'll see what I can do to convince the team members to write up something.

Since the photo comments did not post in the forum here is what I said when I posted the picture:

QUOTE again:

"We would like to thank Jerry Smyth and Mike Smyth (father and son) engineering mentors that taught not only the kids but other "sparky" engineering type people like myself how to construct a robot using monocoque. If you don't know monocoque is:

Monocoque is a French word meaning "single shell." Commonly used in aircraft structures in which the outer skin carries all or most of the torsional and bending stresses.

Jerry is a former navy aviator that designed airplanes back in the 60's."
