Quick start - Engineering and Robotics!
We'll thanks for the help here (and on the Aspire forums)... we had NO CNC experience at all, and got our Shopbot Desktop arrive a few months ago after this year's robotics season. We decided in order to be competitive in our area - needed to step up our game and dive into CNC.
Our story on implementing this tech pretty much on our own (other than help from places like HERE :) and from the Shopbot help line! ), can be found here.
My first real project finished up... its an Oak Family Crest shield that I wanted to present to my son as part of him graduating from one of this Air Force Tech schools - Special Missions Engineering (Black Hawks).

He seemed to REALLY like it - I think it ended match up with he tattoo quite well.
I've got A LOT of great ideas on how to teach this as part of the engineering course we're starting next year.
Thanks for the support!!
