Re: Food for thought
We have been in FIRST for 4 years and we always design, build, program, and use our robot. The kids that is. The robot was always hand made. This year for the first time we got a connection with someone who could CNC parts for us. Since we don't have the necessary knowledge or funds we used this connection to CNC our transmitions. That is the only outsourced thing in our robot. If you see it its all handmade and hand cut exept for teh transmission. Actualy we first made the transmissions by hand and they were very imperfect. We got them CNC'd and now they function perfectly. Some parts you do need to outsource but most fo the work should be done at least by the students.
