Go to Post One thing that always strikes me at FRC competitions is seeing the little nerds reveling in the same kind of self-celebrating bravado the high school jocks have always indulged in. - gvarndell [more]

The key part here is that we both agree that 3D printing is good, should be included in the rules, was intended to be included in the rules, but that the rules could be better written to include it as an option.

So now that we've kind of beaten the 3D printing thing to death, let me suggest that something even cooler than 3D printing is the ability to use basically unlimited aluminum or steel sheet on a waterjet. Oh, sure... you'll have to ask around to find someone local who'll let you use theirs (try mechanical engineering or manufacturing programs) but if you are already good at 3D CAD, then the possibilities are just about endless if you can talk them into a half hour of waterjet time.

I still don't see why you think the rule is that way but we shall agree to disagree As we both agree the rule was poorly worded, I just interpreted it differently. As for Machining... Well You may be interested in my design. Absolutely zero Tetrix parts. But yes, this has been beaten completely to death.
