Re: Cricle base vs. Rectangle base
Boy, oh BOY is that round base alot bigger of a bite that what you may realize. I'm not sure of the size/experience of your team, but I think that you may be biting off more than you can chew. Your team MUST have machines (CNCs, mills, etc) that are capable of machining perfect circles (no matter how skilled you are with a dremel, it will NEVER happen hahahaha). Also, the bumpers will have to be curled in a perfect circle (and I dont think an English wheel will work too well with that, as it put a more spherical curve in parts). But hey, if you guys can do it, you will have my absolute amiration. GOOD LUCK!!!
