The sparks were flying tonight. We trimmed motor shafts to fit our robot drive system and it was quite the show!
If for some reason you are unable to view the video clip, the photo on the upper right gives a sample view of the show!
We had a very slim crowd of 2 students and 5 mentors tonight, so we concentrated on switch bracket fabrication and used the bandsaw, drillpress and pressbrake equipment to create the parts. The drawings were created from our design data in the Autodesk Inventor CAD software.
Last evening, there were more students and they learned how to drill and tap screw threads into aluminum blocks to provide attachment features on various parts of the robot. It was a challenge tapping the threads by hand, but the students learned alot from the experience.
And then of course, there's just plain fun!!!
