Team Coolspeedbot: first feather weight robot

[Coolspeedbot]

So, there is a work around to my CAD issue. Sam Griffin AKA Sam_DRT was kind enough to test if he could convert the parts to DXF if I export them as a different file. Thanks again for doing that Sam. And through that test Sam did actually make it possible although he only tried it with one part. But by chance I discovered I had a 2D software that can read DXF and export DXF files. Using this software I was able to replicate the other parts from my Maya file in 2D and put them together with the DXF of the base plate.

Soooo, I just got my quote from K-cut and well... How much?! Only kidding I did think it would going to be around £200, £190 to be exact.

Time to save some pocket money.

Yeah getting your whole chassis cut isn't gonna be cheap. What thickness were you going for?
