5. For the titanium, however, you will need a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel. I
recommend cutting on the outside of the black Sharpie line. Use your drum tool
or a file to shave off the extra.
6. Once you have completed cutting out all six
pieces, it is time to start the long drilling
process. I recommend starting with the
primary Garolite sheet.
BUILDER TIP:
Keep the scrap pieces!
If you need a last-minute weapon or
need to patch a hole
in your robot, spare
material comes in
extremely handy.

7. You will need to put eight
holes in the sheet. Start with
the two motor mounts on the
edges; use the same caliper,
scribe, and punch and drill
method we used in the
previous article.
9. Use four 4-40
button head screws
to attach the hinges
to the Lexan plate.
8. Now, drill four small holes along the
leading edge for the mini hinges. Use
the same scribe and punch and drill
method discussed previously.
