Re: Over Weight?

A couple of our students over the years have played ice hockey and donated their broken carbon fiber sticks instead of trashing them. Occasionally a section of it makes an appearance on a robot, just make sure it doesn't take an impact from the wrong direction!

The entire roof assembly of our Breakway bot was carbon fiber stick as the ridge with a piece 1/32 Lexan riveted to it.
