Over the years, our team has been trying to incorporate more machined pieces into our assemblies, and I have some questions concerning the machined pieces that many teams in the LA regional are rocking:
- Do teams rely on local sources to paint their machined parts?
- Are parts pre-painted before assembly, or vice versa?
- If we were to paint parts on our own, what would be the suggested medium to do so?
It may seem fairly trivial, but I've always believed that one should never underestimate the influential power of appearance to your teammates, your alliance members, and the opposing alliance. Thank you for your time.
I think these new rules are making the message coming from FIRST perfectly clear - engineering is about what happens between your ears, not what comes out of your deep pockets. - KenWittlief [more]
