Good Job on getting aluminum profiles
Posted by Andy Baker at 2/7/2001 10:00 AM EST
Engineer on team #45, TechnoKats, from Kokomo High School and Delphi Automotive Systems. In Reply to: fine fine... A HINT. Posted by Anton Abaya on 2/7/2001 1:59 AM EST: : just for andy.... considering he helped me earlier this year to get some free structural profiles (aka. 80/20 stuff).... thanks andy Cool. I was wondering if that came through. We use extrusions and fasteners from IPS (formerly Item Products). They are great to work with and we've used them for 10 years here at Delphi-Delco to make production equipment. If anyone else is interested in them, their site is: www.industrialprofile.com These guys were even cool enough to give a $500 credit as a prize for a FIRST team at last year's Indiana Robotics Invitational. These types of extrusions are excellent to work with, especially for FIRST robots. The adjustability during debug is key. The good thing about adjustability is that it is adjustable... the bad thing, though, is that it is adjustable. (some may have no clue what the above statement means... but, just like speed, adjustability can kill ya) Andy B. |
