Thanks, Arefin. I did most of the design and SolidWorks work, as well as a bit of CNC machining for a few of the parts on the robot.

Although I really have to thank our team machinist (Gary Morin) and our team's CNC sheet metal sponsor (R&D Precision) for turning around so many parts this year. Gary has been working almost non-stop at nearly every team meeting for the last four weeks fabricating parts on our lathe and mill (our school's insurance policy unfortunately forbids students under 18 from operating the lathe or mill), while the students have been prototyping ideas and making all the non critical +/- 1/16" or +/- 1/8" parts and assembling the robots.

I like to draw inspiration from a variety of sources (including our past robots as well as those of other teams), and then meld it all together into a unique design of our own.
