@zanehengsperger machine shops make metal go round

[Jordan Ford @jrdnfrd]

@_baldtires @protocybernetic I think he’s asking what the formed sheet metal parts will be used for. The output from this die

@observie This is a common architectural choice in robot birds: it’s called TwoCAN

Can’t wait to attach the stereo camera and test out the angle adjustment mechanism. These toothed wheels turned out better than I expected.

M3 tap in the drill: I like to live dangerously.
