Re: Team 869 In Need of Some Advice

Machine shop? Whats that? We are very fortunate in having a mentor who is very good at making flat material work like machined parts. With the extruced aluminum from Rexroth we made our own gussets from 1/8" alu,. Drill press for screws and lightening, 1/4 x20 t nuts and you can overcome a lot. We have to buy things like gears and sprockets and wheels, but that is the price to pay for not having access to a machne shop. A sander to round over edges and the famous buffing wheel.

not really hard and it gives a new challenge to the team.
