Thanks for letting us know about McMaster stocking fiberglass! although they don't have our favorite 4" x 4" x 1/4" I beam.

Has anyone ever built a frame from extruded aluminum ladder rails? Just curious.

Does building an arm mount from a COTS ladder count? There was a team at Davis 2005 that did that. (Almost that whole robot was either KOP or COTS household items.)

I think I've seen ladders used on two robots, the one Eric mentioned and also the Sporks in Arizona this year.

Not for a frame, though. I expect it would work, you could just screw a flat plate across it to mount transmissions, etc.

Could even use a fiberglass ladder :)

Yes. There was also a team at Davis last year that had a ladder arm.

And back in 2005, there was our districtmates 1398.
