I feel compelled to add that, while this is true, it's also possible to achieve all of those things using other methods of construction.

I get that people are trying to emulate the work of teams that are better than they are, but there's more than one way to skin a cat.

If your robots aren't yet performing in the top, say, 10% of those at your events, sheet metal isn't going to make a lick of difference.

Carry on.
