Re: pic: '09 Frog Force 503 Robot -

Thanks for noticing the cool look on our aluminum tubing. We started doing this last year by wrapping steel wool on a screwdriver (securely through zip-ties) and then putting the screw driver in the drill press. By pressing down and buffing circles in the aluminum, it actually ends up looking awesome. Its pretty easy and can be done with any drill/drill press and is a fairly quick process. Its a great way to make your robot stand out if your team doesn't have the time or resources for powder coating/anodizing.
