To add to what Evan posted, all of the axles and a fair amount of the aluminum parts were made on a manual mill and lathe. All of the axles in the transmissions started from hex stock bought from McMaster Carr. Dave worked miracles. We cut the tube aluminum on a horizontal band saw. Berger Manufacturing welded everything up, cut a few holes in the tube aluminum, and cut out the sheet metal parts using their laser cutter. We bought hex broached gears from AndyMark, and used the AndyMark dog from the spare parts for their transmissions. We used 254's hex broach for our wheels and some of the gears.

In case you thought otherwise, those neat wheels were cut out on a manual mill and lathe.

Quite a dramatic change from last year's robot, which was built using a drill press and the horizontal band saw.
