Title: Base for robot.?
Post by: MaltiK on March 24, 2009, 04:35:22 AM

I think i might try to find those aluminum things shaped in an L that are really long that have drilled holes throughout the hole thing, and slide the rods in there.

i think similar to this:

anyone know where to find them? ~I only want the rail one and four of them

The website has them as $60, however I think if I want only the rail I can get them much cheaper

A L bracket?

You can probably find them at a Home Depot.

I've seen pre-drilled steel L-brackets at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc., but never pre-drilled aluminum.
