CNC Machines
How many teams actually have a CNC machine? Are they that useful in the context of the whole competition? I wanted to propose the idea of actually MAKING one, both a great offseason project and beneficial during the build season. What are the components than can possibly be made with a CNC machine? I was thinking of using it to make the intricate parts that can't possibly be made by hand precisely. Is is limited only to Plastics and Wood? Can it possibly be used on aluminium?
