Another item we might want to consider is a work light on an extension cord. We are working in dim lighting over by the cRIO testbed and will soon be working in layered, mechanical, tight spaces on the robot. A little light goes a long way in those dim recesses. BTW: Have we determined that we can cut aluminum, especially if we were to try to "rip" on the long axis of an L-bracket for example? (Maybe I am not being clear enough here...)

I would be happy to help with the hardware run, since I have to go that way today anyway. I've found that full sheets of plywood fit mighty nicely in a minibus! -Ken Wells St. Mark's School Southborough, MA 01772 (508) 786 6000 ________________________________________ From: smsrobotics-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [smsrobotics-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Maria DeVuono-Homberg [devuonom@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2011 11:32 AM To: smsrobotics@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [smsrobotics] Re: Lowes. As for Lowes: I am not sure if Lindsey told you about the bumpers' 3/4" plywood (which is tricky to fit in my car so I didn't get it). There is some aluminum stock there, but you will have to see for yourself and then talk about options. (I'd like to check out the 80/20 site bcz I believe it had stock aluminum. I'll get back to you.)

Folks, I am going to make a shopping trip to Lowes and BJs at 2:00 p.m. . It would be nice if 2 or 3 of you could come.... Let me know if you can come.
