Re: pic: Fresh off the laser
Really nice! our laser sponsor got backed up by the snow here and can't spare us any laser time this year (we didn't find that out until we had already designed the bot to be laser cut). So, we have done a quick re-design and will try to cut it out on a table saw and router. I am betting it won't look as nice.

Re: pic: Fresh off the laser
Aniline dyes can give a nice bright stain... but the mahogany sounds nice, too.
Great to see wood being used wisely... it is amazing what you can do with the right software and the right tool. Jason |

Re: pic: Fresh off the laser
It's so nice to see someone else was inspired to try a different material for a frame and even more so that someone was inspired by that method of connecting things. I particularly like seeing the small differences in tabbing and overall design between 1771's chassis the past 2 years and this one. I definitely think you guys will become big wood fans after this year. Remember that t-nuts are your friend and you should be golden.

Re: pic: Fresh off the laser
The nice thing about construction methods such as laser cutting is that making multiple copies of parts is somewhat trivial.
Man, if there's any way you could get a laser in-house, you could make furniture in the offseason as a fund raiser! |

Re: pic: Fresh off the laser
Just to keep in mind this is our practice bot. Just wait to see what the real bot will be made out of!! Same wood base, just a different type of material for the rest of the robot...... It will be truly something to look out for!
