i was at the International manufacturing tradshow at mccormick place chicago
and i went to the master cam booth and started talking to him i said say your team # i'll tell you your name he said 273 which i didn't know off the top of my head i then asked his team name he said rage i then corrected him of his actual team # of 173 and started describing there robot in very close detail. but he was there lead cnc guy i think

i also saw Dan Larochelle and several of 40's vex robots and a small cnc mill whirring away and talked with him.

its amazing what a small world this is

and is there a specific program for easily making #25 sprockets on a cnc mill
because i need some for an offseason project and have plenty of time
