Yeah this kit need some work......

Quote:
when the teams build their real robots, they have to work from raw stock materials - beams, sheet goods, and rods. The kit is designed to help introduce those ideas. It will include beams, sheet goods, and bar stock. From those raw materials, you can use the same basic techniques for fabrication that you will need to understand when building the competition robots
Dave I know why you like the kit though.....You helped design it.....

Tin snips are not exactly used for cutting raw materials for robots.
They tell you to use these to cut the metal beams and they dont work to well....... It took us about an hour to make 6 cuts.... we tried tin snips they wouldnt cut through, we tried band saw it bent them in the vise, and finally we found out that the good old hacksaw works the best!

The servo gears are cheap we allready broke 2 sets.....upgrade to metal

not a very good selection of metal pieces, you really only have enough to build a good frame

You only have 1 pair of 4 wheels that are the same size.

The bearings are difficult to line up on the rectange holes.

We cannot find an allen wrench to fit the locking collars for the shafts, the one we have that came with the kit is too small.
