Re: Steel on a FRC Robot

At first our arm support across the top was made out of aluminum but after testing (picking up a chair) with our claw we noticed that we bent it by several inches. We replaced it with a steel bar and haven't had problems picking anything up that weighs less than 20 pounds.
