Actually there was a lot of changes that had to be made to the parts. But the simple reason for this is even though we had inventor and cnc milling capabilities, we only had six weeks, and to make a perfect robot from inventor to finished model is impossible. We took a good 3-3 1/2 weeks to design it.....Tolerances were off slightly on a few pieces but only slightly. I must say though, having a cnc milling machine made the majority of the parts fall into place like a building block set. Now if only this one had assembly instructions
