Hey All,
FIRST gave us the opportunity over the past few weeks to make a version of the field files designed to be cut by a CNC router or ordered through a cutting service like SendCutSend.
We hope these files help some teams out, and if you like this kind of thing please let us and FIRST know so we can potentially do this again in future years.
NOTE: WE HAVE NOT BUILT AND VALIDATED THESE PLANS - We are providing them as-is, please go through them closely if you plan on using them. We will be building these this weekend, and I will update the files if people report any issues with them.
Please feel free to modify these as needed. This was a very late effort over the holidays during a company move, depending on feedback in this thread we can try and push the designs a bit farther, but at some point it will be too late to have an impact.
Since we are a little short on space we made each part of the scoring system modular. So there is a shelf, a end scoring area, and two middle scoring areas. Each section is bolted together with 1/2in bolts since I have too many and they can be reconfigured to make a center grid and an end grid.
Here is the link for the OnShape document that has each section: Onshape
This design is for 5/8 plywood which has a thickness of around 0.610 which is equal to 15.5mm. It is a little weird only chose that since that’s what it seemed the original version was.
