675 won the 2010 Xerox Creativity award at SVR. We have a couple mentors that can CNC parts, but primarily our robot is student built. A big thins is measure twice cut once. We won for being the only team there with a ramp. But we thrive on building great robots with little sponsorships or anything. I think its really a design and an ability to work together as a team. Combing the experience of seniors and mentors with the ideas of newer members allows for an efficient work environment. It doesnt hurt to powder coat everything though.
