Re: Tube Versus Channel

That's another fun problem with using tube, you need to plan your attaching points pretty early on. Welding (or riveting) a mounting tab to the tube is a good way to go.

We built a welded steel frame using mostly thinwall square tube and some angle and strap for this year's robot...no problems at all with the frame.
