Overview:

One of the easiest way to get really strong, resilient weapons is have them commercially laser cut out of AR500 armor plating steel. We do this with a service called SendCutSend. The club will do two SendCutSend during the semester, so mind those deadlines. To design your weapon, figure out how your weapon will mate with your motor, gear, pulley, or whatever (Ideally, 3D print a prototype out of PLA or TPU and prove it works before ordering in AR500 steel, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRILL HOLES OR CUT THE AR500 ARMOR!). A number of generic weapon designs are available here.
