i'm going to send out the files to the waterjet guys now. Any last minute suggestions? anybody?

PS: It's my 100th post!!! YAY!

Subject: Re: Woodynator V2 Mon Mar 23, 2009 12:05 am

how much does all this waterjetting cost you?!

Subject: Re: Woodynator V2 Mon Mar 23, 2009 12:07 am

lol ... BIG

we don't know yet... we'll find out won't we! It won't be horrible because for comparison, the 120 chassis was going to cost 310 for all in the picture and this is a fraction of that. also, we're supplying the material so it won't be horrific. but it needs to be done by wednesday!!

All you whippersnappers. Back in my day if you wanted a chassis, you beat it out of diamond-plate aluminum by hand and machined it with a drill & a dremel! Razz

(for details, see below)

o wow thats not bad at all. I guess if you have everything in solidworks and give them the material its not much really for them haha. Our BIG sponsor jenison corp. donates the maching for our frames then were also sponsored by the University of Pittsburghs machine shop so they do stuff free for us to.
I think also got a quote on our frame just to see and it was like $1500 or more

Besides our inner frame we pretty much do. We have a drill press, grinder and a hand lathe from 72'. We cut our outside armor with a jigsaw and take it to a belt sander in the woodshop to clean it up

that's the spirit!

lol, that was more pointed at Will. I've been using the "tony stark built this" as a bit of a running joke comparing our first 'hardware-store' bots with the beautifully-machined T-800s they're churning out now.

Will, have you thought of including the arrow motif into the disk when it gets made? It wouldn't be too hard to include.

^Arrow motif circled in red
