We've used versaframe extensively, especially this last season. I'm looking into construction methods that don't rely on rivets as the primary means of fastening, and that utilizes our machining resources rather than the cash in our pockets. We have a laser-cutting sponsor, so designing gussets rather than buying them would make sense for our team.

I once heard someone say that Dean is "building an army of engineers." I disagree. I think he is building an army of the informed. - Gope [more]
