In preparation for our October 20th Design.Print.Destroy! Competition (Robot Day at the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum), Robobrawl Arena Committee has been tasked with the design and construction of a new Arena for D.P.D!
This Thursday we began by choosing our materials, updating our CAD to match, and cutting material for the base.
D.P.D! Arena Model
The Arena floor is a 46.75″ square base (our outer dimensions will be ~48″ square), with a base constructed out of 2×4’s and plywood and will use a steel sheet as the floor.
Lumber to Match
To form a 46.75″ base, we needed to cut 4x 45.25″ and 2x 43.75″ sections of 2×4 as well as a 46.75″ square section of plywood.
A Good Day’s Work
