As you can imagine, there are many hours (dozens) of manual/CNC lathe/mill work in these robots. These students were asked to make the parts for 4 machines. They were asked to machine parts to very tight tolerances. They are required to maintain their grades. They even had to put up with my shenanigans (although I'm not sure that's how they would characterize it ).

Of the students that did this work, 2 are juniors in first year machining and 1 is a senior in his second year. Yet, despite their limited experience and enduring many long hours in the shop, they pulled it off.

I want to say publicly that I am very proud of these young men - Kyle Williamson, Jonathan Parriera and Sean Magley.

Woo! You go guys! You three are some of the most of important people on the team!
