  • Why is this expensive and tedious machining process better than just stamped and riveted metal parts? The Lunar X Prize is going to the fastest and leanest system. Pimping your rover with nice rims won't do anything but throw money away.

  • good luck !

  • this is really incredible.  i mean, it's just metal machining, but it's so fun to watch.
