Last week we completed machining all of the chassis pieces for our 2010 IGVC ‘bot. Today we test fitted the pieces together to make sure the design didn’t need any adjustments. We discovered that some of the pieces needed some holes to be tapped, but otherwise, it went together like a charm and things are fitting just as our CAD model predicted. Photos of the construction process after the break.
