Version 2, ready to be cut tomorrow. Two stages of reduction, for an adjusted robot speed of ~10 fps. Adding a reduction stage only made it ~.25" longer and wider.



Our mostly complete chassis. This will also (hopefully) be cut out tomorrow.

What settings does your team use for the cut? I just realized we have a 60W 30x15 laser cutter sitting in the other room at school.

I'm not sure; the settings for our laser aren't "real" units like Watts or Inches/ second. I'd suggest you just try different settings until you find something that works. But do try it; the laser is an amazing resource to have available.

Most laser cutters are different. If you want know the setting you can figure them out. But a good starting point is the internet and research into the laser cutter you have.

Definitely, I wasn't trying to just copy paste settings. That rarely works in my experience. I was curious about the speeds you're able to go. Although if the laser doesn't use real units that's disapointing .
