This is good advice. (See Eric Curry's earlier post also, the attachment includes a great local contact if your team is near St. Louis.)
Also, look at the details
(I love details) of a few Bomb Squad robots. They make very effective use of extrusion in ways that enable design tweaks. It's an element of a continuous improvement strategy -- which of course is one those things that differentiate teams that are competitive from teams that win.
