Looks awesome. Did you guys happen to take the robot apart just to paint?
They powder coat it. Chances are, they do it before putting it together.
Good question.
Powdercoating took up at least 3 days of “wasted” time where our construction got interrupted, due to the fact that all of the electronics came off and got put back together, slowly, with some additional add-ons. PC does wonders making good welds look perfect.
Our programming and drive team had it for almost a week to test, fine tune, and got our autonomous to work prior to PC. Once that was complete, they dropped the belly pan and removed 90% of the electronics in just minutes.
It scores on any of the top 3 pegs by the way during auto.
We’re going to post a video soon on youtube of our build season, which shows auto scoring back in week 4 and powdercoating right in one of our shops.
