Wow some of those are nasty!
I haven't got more then a scratch in my entire 3 years in FIRST. But hard times... Thats another story.
Here’s the usual scenario for machining parts on team 100.
-sponsor's CNC mill breaks -2 day setback
-sponsor machinist sick -(we have to make the parts ourselves
)
-forced to make parts in mentor's garage but the power goes out
-forced to make parts in another shop...
power goes out again
-programmers tell us we need to make a gearbox week before ship
We also discovered this year that one of our mentors had installed a secret button on his mill to prevent strangers from turning it on
It took at least an hour to find the little blighter which was disguised as a bolt!
