Re: Minibot - aluminium

This was discussed over lunch today, and we came to the same conclusion, that we can use aluminum parts as long as we use items with no pre-drilled holes. But I have another concern (it's probably an obvious answer, but I'm going to ask to be absolutely sure). Can we modify the minibot KoP items? Like cutting the c-channel for example. I would guess we are allowed to considerring the fact that two of the c-channel sections are longer than 12".
