1675 builds their robot in a welding shop!
(Well, metal-fab shop.)
We weld a lot of stuff. And yes, last year we had a weld break in atlanta. Did you see the pic in the kickoff intro with the kid yelling and grabbing at the driver's station wall? Yeah, a professional photographer snapped a shot of his face as the 'bot was falling over.
Everything got fixed before our next match, though
I don't know how to weld though, I'm a programmer!
