Re: Lasercutting Spur Gears?
Thanks for all the input. I was just curious since we have lasercutting companies as sponsors who are willing to make stuff for us. The gear I was referring too would be the PIC 0.7 module one that takes so long to get.
As for wire EDM, I know there's got to be a place within 20 miles (Sun Valley is like the industrial capital of the western United States). I just checked and there is a place in Chatsworth. I have know idea how much such a thing costs. I'm guessing the increased cost of a custom gear would not be favorable over the 4-7 week waiting period of the PIC gear. Has ever had a gear cut who could tell me how much? Thanks.

Honestly though, having a cave would be one of the greatest places to build a robot. There's already lack of light and lots of floor space! Well, if you have a good cave sponsor, that is. - Bryce Clegg [more]
