Do you really just cut random pieces and weld them together, though?

There is some precision involved. For this design, we agreed we wanted something that was symetrical so that it could pick up from the ground and score anywhere. The design for the torso and arm was CAD'ed, measured to stay within the 4' limit. What we "randomized" was the bracing. During the welding session we picked a height for the box tubing height and for the round tubing it was eyeballed to fit around the transmissions. I wouldn't call it "random". But you would be suprised home much is done on the fly and works out in the end. Keep the questions coming.
Every year, 118 inspires our team to dream for the stars, and land on mars. If 118 wasn't there we wouldn't be off the ground. Think about it every superstar has critics. Keep doing what you do 118. - xSAWxBLADEx [more]
