This [[Training Ventures|TV]] is tailored for the 152 engineering class. This page will describe the steps of designing and fabricating a vacuum formed shell for the 152 robot. This page will also contain links to sign up for the equipment training necessary for completing this training venture and 152 in general.

After the matte black paint dried, I removed the final vinyl mask for the cockpit windows. Again, I used Q-tips and isopropyl alcohol to clean up any stray paint that got behind the vinyl mask. And voila! We have created a passing resemblance of Darth Vader's tie fighter. Now all we need is Darth Vader himself...

Now, you may be wondering how to attach your masterpiece robot shell to the chassis. Below are two SolidWorks files that can serve as a starting point for connecting the shell to the chassis in a manner that is easily removable. I make no claims that this is the best design by any stretch. In fact, I hope that the 152 students can use their CAD skills from 151 to come up with a better design and share it here for the benefit of their classmates.
