Re: Rookie Prototyping Materials

Check out the Prototyping workshop we gave a couple years ago. There are some others that are helpful also.

Re: Rookie Prototyping Materials

Don't forget the prized prototyping material; the pizza box + duct tape.
We've used the cardboard lid of a pizza box to initially prototype a variety of items (both on the robot and for the playing field) because they're handy (accessible) and cheap (re-using)!
Good luck!
