Re: Gluing Robot Frames

Our team uses machine screws and the normal Quickframe nylon connectors to secure the pieces together. For high stress applications, we sometimes drill a through hole and use a 10-32 bolt.

My question is, what is the advantage to the notched "Lincoln Log" system as opposed to adding another T joint? The Lincoln log system wouldn't work so well with standard Quickframe because of the rounded edges.
