I guess you really do learn something new everytime you go to a FIRST competition.

Re: pic: Homemade Keyway Broaches
I've actually done this same thing but to make a knurled surface.
Grind off all but one flute, put the tap into a vertical mill and make a pass on your piece (cutting along the side, obviously). Rotate the piece 90 degrees in your vice, and make a pass again. It'll leave you with a nice knurled face that's good for gripper jaws on end-effectors.

Re: pic: Homemade Keyway Broaches
I love that idea and it gives a good use to old taps!
Like they say, "Necessity is the mother of invention!"
