Re: Machining Your Own Vs. COTS

to add to Cory's comments -

use the off-season to learn the machines.

then, during build time -

if the part an easily be purchased, purchase it.

focus your design and fabrication time and attention and your machine tools on the parts that you cannot buy and need to be custom made for your robot.
