 Maybe this is something we should put on the backs of our shirts: "beware - this person will stand up and cheer for other teams during FIRST award ceremonies". - Andy Baker [more] |

We are starting to go crazy with our home anodizing techniques! Here are a few IFI wheels that we anodized to continue with our color scheme from last year.

the reason the sprockets are slightly off color is because they are a different type of alluminum. We weren't to sure how it would react to the annodizing process, and these are the results.

Looks great! We need to learn how to anodize.

Now the question becomes, "Do we want to join in the new trend-setting style of 229 or follow the classic chrome bling of 111?"
A beautiful job, folks!

I think I'll get a strange mint sensation looking at 229's robot! 
The anodizing looks good. The green and yellow makes a good contrast.
At work when we do toolings for our injection molding robots we've run across the same problem where the color varies depending on the material used to make the individual parts. We do a clear anodize to prevent this unless specified by the customer and at that point we just say the toolings have "character".
