Re: Your favorite/most useful tool?

  • CAD drafting program - either a 2D-based one, like CADkey ver. 21 (which they have installed on every computer in my school's computer lab) or a 3D-based one, like my favorite - Autodesk Inventor.
  • Heat Gun - so useful for anything, including warming up cold leftover food during the build season
  • 7/16" wrench and 5/32" T-Handle allen wrench - because they are used on almost everything on our robot.
  • Loctite - Sure beats having to check every nut and bolt after every match.
  • Computers / Internet - can be used for anything from researching particular ideas, or surfing ChiefDelphi
