Although as other replies have said there is no "right" way so watever works for your team i was just throwing the idea out there

Actually....
All you need you need is:
1. A 1:1 plot of the part you are making, like a sidewall
2. Cut out your 1:1 plot.
3: Glue it on a piece of wood.
4. Cut out your peice of wood, this is called a FORMER block
5. Take your piece of wood to your alumium sheet.
6. Use a 1/2" circle with a hole in it to trace around your wood to make a 1/2 halo around the FORMER block.
7. Cut out your alumium piece with TIN SNIPS.
8. Use your former block to pound the edges together.
9. Klecko the thing together, when your happy, RIVET it.
Seriously....that is IT...no CNC mill or LASER cutting required. It's VERY SIMPLE to make a robot like this...
I am electrical, and I saw the kids make it they catch on fast.
