Looks like a cribbage board had been made on the Prototrak?

Thanks! We are as well.

Bring your cards and pegs, we'll play cribbage on the robot while we wait for eliminations matches! I swear we'll be on the same alliance one of these years... I still regret not picking you guys in 2012 when we had the chance.

The hole patterns are for the chassis style we've adopted - plates and standoffs, like last year's robot. It plays well to our strengths, i.e. plasma cutter and Prototrak and has proved to be elegant and robust.

I'm all for teams picking a set of build methods based off their fabrication strengths... we certainly have picked the way we build based off our available resources! That said, I meant less the spiffy-looking robot parts and more the piece of sacrificial wood on the Prototrak in the first picture... :-)

That said, a few hands of cribbage between matches sounds like a good idea!

GSR 2012 was a bizarre event for us... though I'm in way complaining about the finalist showing. I certainly couldn't criticize anyone above us for not picking us though, as we were anything but an offensive juggernaut at GSR! We were just glad to be able to be able to assemble an alliance that made it to the finals!

Hehe, this was the year!

Thanks for sharing. It's always cool to see another team's design and manufacturing process, especially on a machine as nicely built as yours.

Thanks Brendan! Your comments are much appreciated.

Indeed! 1519 and 1307 were both great teams to work with.

You are welcome, and thank you for the compliment. I hope to have even further updates to this thread in the next few days. Always something else to improve...
