Go to Post We did the best job we could out there, and unfortunatly we have human limits.. The refs don't catch every penalty, inspectors don't catch every issue, and this year the score keepers won't catch every single ball. - nobrakes8 [more]

It's rather simple: you start with a block of solid and remove material until you just have the robot left. Kind of like making a sandcastle. Only harder.

Horray for knowing CAD, and CNC programming in the upcoming year.

Good luck people.

How do you fix it at competitions though??? Is welding considered a fastener?

Doesn't the alleged rule just prohibit threaded fasteners?

J-B Weld? Although I prefer this, the elevated temp cure makes it tough to use for quick repairs in the pits

Looks like we're going to pull out our Handlheld Ultrasonic Welder. It's been collecting dust since Clark and DJ graduated.

Ah ha! I knew there was a reason a few team members got certified to use PlasmaCAM (basically a CNC machine with a torch) and to weld.

If this does end up in the 2006 rules, CD is in trouble! These are threads, and they are what hold the community together...so CD must be a threaded fastener right?
