About the team
Hello welcome to the Rusty Nail Robotics. Here we will tell you about ourselves and what we do!
When Rusty Nail Robotics, formally known as Tippmann robotics, was first formed it was just Cale and Orrin. We struggled through the 2020-2021 and got the rookie award. From that humble start we have become a strong team that explores everything we can use to create a competitive robot.
We work in our coach’s shop where we have access to advanced machining equipment and supervision to help us learn and be safe.
In the shop we have:
-Five 3D printers
-Manual Mill and Lathe
-CNC Lathe
-Large CNC Mill
-Mini CNC Mill
-CO2 Laser Cutter
-Fiber Laser
-Sheet Metal Equipment
-Many Computers for CAD and Programming
-Skee-Ball (The Favorite Thing)
