Re: the firefly effect

We used a good bit of extruded aluminum, all bolted together with probably 100 bolts.

Our first shakedown runs of the robot would result in at least a few bolts left behind. We affectionately call them robot droppings.

I'm sure a lot of other teams using extruded aluminum have similar stories.
