Endorsement
Team Hammond has participated in the CDI for the last three years. The cost of the robot is almost nothing as you cannot use any machining, welding, wire EDM or the like. It must be done with hand tools and is usually done mostly by the students. We all jump on a bus Friday after school along with the bot and some tools and go up to Pontiac that evening. After the competition on Saturday we put everything on the bus and drive home. Up to now the cost of the kit was such we just left the robot there for recycling, in ways, not a bad thing, because "when it is over, it is over."
It is an extremely well run event and you cannot get more "bang for your buck" in the world of robotics competition than the CDI.
