Carrot Bot

I would like to give an evolution of the mechanical portions of carrot bot and what lynch pins allow a robust research grade platform to come together rather quickly.
1. 20 hour days. (In a weekend you can work as much as a full time job! Hell, if you include Thursday and Friday, you can work two weeks, now that is efficiency.)
2. McMaster-Carr 10AM delivery. (On Wednesday night you can get the idea to build a robot. On thursday you can order parts, get them by friday, test them out, notice something doesn't work and find a local dealer for alternatives.
3. LaserCam. (If you don't have a part just cut it out of wood, Hell even an ANSI 41 54 tooth sprocket (list price $36) can be cut in minutes for a few dollars.
4. Bike parts. They are everywhere, but some of them are broken. (no bikes were stolen in the creation of this project.)
6. Good engineers. (I don't want to tote my own horn, but...)
7. Excess stock of parts. (Everyone needs a few parts on hand every now and then.)
8. Did I mention 20 hour days. I might be delirious at this point.
