After doing some asking around, I ended up finding a local sponsor. Big thanks to TruFab Stainless here in Bloomington, Indiana. They have generously offered to donate their time to fabricate all parts that are needed for the robot.
I made my way up to Indianapolis the morning of 6/26/2019 to visit a couple stock metal and plastic businesses that I have been talking to. Ended up getting my 6061 Aluminum and 4140 Steel from Metal Supermarkets Indianapolis, and my 1/16" poly-carbonate sheet from Auburn Plastics & Rubber. Both of the supplier businesses had fantastic customer service and were very nice, would highly recommend either one for low volume orders of stock supplies.
After I finished picking up all of the stock I made my way back down to TruFab back in Bloomington. I got a chance to meet the staff and everyone was super friendly and taking in interest in the team, as promised I will make my way back over once I have the bot all finished to show them what's been going on. Once again, many thanks TruFab for their donation to the team.
