prohibit teams from using Tetrix channel, angle or flat bar? What distinguishes aluminum between the raw condition and something else?
Beyond that -- and risking to show my age a bit here -- how are the rules governing minibot construction meaningfully different than the rules from years ago that required that additional parts and materials of ALL sorts be purchased only from a single source -- Small Parts, Inc? I was younger then, but I can't recall even a fraction of the discontent y'all seem to be displaying today.
