Partially machined parts for team 1726. These were made using the latest HAM (Human Analog Machining) techniques, with state of the art (in 1946) equipment.

Wow. Two apples and a pear, drawn on a paper towel... It's a shame someone put those generic looking tubes over such exquisite artwork.
Do tell, do all three fruits go on the robot somewhere?
(Awaiting negative rep for this one...)

The fruit art came pre-printed on the paper towel.

I'd appreciate the irony, but those parts aren't made of iron.

Six pieces of either hardcoated AL or steel tube. I'm going with either axles or spacers of some kind.

Graham DonaldsonSo it IS paper towel!! (The dots made it look like styrofoam to me, but I had never seen styrofoam with a pattern...)[/random tangent]
My guess is axles as well. I know we've got some ones that look very similar to that...

They are indeed the axle tubes for putting 1/2" wheel bearings on 3/8" axle bolts. Outside turning has not been done yet...they need a thousandth or two removed.
Not all of us are going high tech this year
