The front bumpers are extremely funny, our teacher 3 years ago thought it would be cool if our bumpers weren't rectangular. So he got a piece of 1x2 aluminum and made slits on the ends, then bent the pieces to that U shape on the front and left the back flat. Then we weld them shut. You can't notice the welds on the front due to powder coating. BTW, we weld everything.

Yes, those gearboxes are custom. For some reason we lost sponsorships but got some weird grants over the summer. We have a brand new CNC, a ton of broaches for keyways and hexes, and other random stuff in our shop. So we figured to start making custom stuff, it's pretty fun. Especially when CD gives such brilliant suggestions.
I forgot, in the grant that we wrote for our CNC, it stated that we had to help other teams machine out parts. So i don't know if i should start another thread, but if any teams needs anything milled (can be possible to do with a 3 axis) we would do it for free (you pay for shipping, the product and $1 for the labor/SO as close to free machining.)
