Re: 1/8th thick aluminum

What is your current projected robot weight? If you're looking at being under, you don't need to shed arm weight. If you're looking at being over, do the analysis. If you don't know how to do the analysis, say so--there are enough engineers on here that you'll get how to do the analysis and the analysis at the same time.
