Re: Frame Material
The kit frame is a solid option, if you're interested in making use of its predefined mounting positions...The corner gussets are quite strong as well (but heavy).
I disagree, we are a second year team and we are trying to avoid the kit frame altogether from what we learned about it our rookie year. The C-Frame is made of sturdy materials yes, however, all of the holes make it structurally weak. our robot weiged close to nothing last year (all of our weight being in the kit frame, the battery, and a pneumatic compressor), and before a few matches were over, the frame was warped. the overall design isgood for starting with, or to use for prototyping, but avoid bringing it to compete with.
