One of team 3958’s students: Dan Casey, has entered the Epilog V contest for a chance to win an Epilog Zing 16 laser cutter. If he wins, he will donate the laser cutter to our team. In the past, 3958 has used the laser cutter at iRobot, where one of our mentors works, to cut abs plastic for countless purposes. These include our 2012 stingers, 2012 and 2013 arm actuators, 2013 floor pickup, 2013 drive sprockets, and many other things. And as if that was not enough, we have MUCH bigger plans for the laser cutter next year. Unfortunately, all but a few of our students live over an hour away from iRobot, and we typically aren’t allowed to use the laser cutter on weekdays, so an in house laser cutter would be a great blessing.
