Re: pic: Sheetmetal 8wd

If you have a sponsor shop where all they do is make this kind of stuff all day, and you have the proficiency to design this kind of stuff well (I do not), then this is REALLY the way to build an FRC robot in a short amount of time. It is so fast and easy to burn (or jet) all this out because the actual amount of material removed is so small, compared to milling. The amount of time saved over milling and welding more solid-type parts can be tremendous.
