Re: Steel on a FRC Robot

last year the drawback for our kicker was a pair of wheels with a little pins to drive each other, this needed to be made out of steel because we did FEA on the part and aluminum was not strong enough, an aluminum part on a high torque part must be made larger to offset the torque. steel can be made smaller and thus easier.
