Re: pic: '09 Frog Force 503 Robot -
We received all our brushes (ones on sweeper, helix, and the shooter) from Memtech, Inc. in Plymouth, MI who graciously donated our entire supply to the team. We are really happy with the way the brushes work on the helix and the sweeper, but are trying to change up our shooter (what the girl in the picture is holding) by trying different brushes.

Re: pic: '09 Frog Force 503 Robot -
How do you guys buff out the aluminum like that? Is it something that could be done during down time in the pits, or does it take a long time?

Re: pic: '09 Frog Force 503 Robot -
Thanks for noticing the cool look on our aluminum tubing. We started doing this last year by wrapping steel wool on a screwdriver (securely through zip-ties) and then putting the screw driver in the drill press. By pressing down and buffing circles in the aluminum, it actually ends up looking awesome. Its pretty easy and can be done with any drill/drill press and is a fairly quick process. Its a great way to make your robot stand out if your team doesn't have the time or resources for powder coating/anodizing.
