Re: Aluminum Strengths?
Depending on your application, which you have been quite secretive about, I would suggest using a material that is non-conductive without any special treatments, such as fiberglass. Strength is comparable to 6061-T6 aluminum at a lower density and you won't need to bother with coatings. Kevlar filled nylon might also work, but is a bit weaker.
Again, the more you can tell us about your application, the more CD can help you. I've never really seen any benefit in keeping many robot design secrets, most teams do what they want to anyway. But by sharing your concepts they can be improved by suggestions by more people. Just my $0.02
