Re: Extension Mechanism
I noticed in the rules for ABU Robocon that the machines must be handmade.
Does "handmade" mean you are not allowed to used automated processes or tools to fabricate components of the machine? What about power tools? Do you have to fabricate all the parts of your machine by hand? And are there any restrictions on what purchased parts you can use or how much you can spend on parts?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
