Since I don't have any droid stuff to show, and since I have to fill this thread I started with something; Here's another assembly for the competition bot that I designed and built.
This is the CG render from the CAD model.

The parts after they came off the CnC. For some silly reason these were a lot of fun to cut. They're all quarter inch acetal. I finally found the sweet spot and can cut it reliably, accurately and fairly quickly. Makes me wanna make more stuff.

And finally, the finished assembly. It's always so cool to see this stuff come to life like this. It's a little dirtier, and our local supplier didn't have the bolts I designed it with so I had to substitute, but it's a darn good match for the CG version. Gotta love technology.

About 12 hours from beginning to end, idea, design, fabrication and assembly, including time for taking photos and actually installing it on the robot.
