The Pole, what is it made out of?

[KCSRC]

What is the pole that the mini bot will use to climb up be made out of? Metal? PVC? I need to know.

1.75" OD steel to be specific (may be galvanized).

Hi -

I don't want to sound mean, but have you read the manual in full detail? If not, the answers are found in there. Furthermore, there are many different threads on here that discuss this. Please search. For example, here:

I will, however, answer the question.

From the definition:

POST – a 1.75-inch diameter (O.D.) steel pipe that extends upward from the BASE. The POST is considered part of the TOWER.

On page 20:

The POST extends upwards from the center of the BASE. The POST is constructed from a piece of 1.75-inch diameter (O.D.) steel pipe.

Edit: Of course, beaten to it.

Don't forget Update #3 that clarified the pole outer diameter as being nominally 1.74".
