Re: Tube Versus Channel
We love the 3/16 rivets and have also started standardizing on 10/32 after doing 1/4-20 for years.
We also use hysol for the gussets we don't plan on removing.
Our robots are also mostly constructed from 1x1 tube in both 1/16 and 1/8 thicknesses.
1/8 c-channel is also a great choice for many parts.
I love prototyping with 8020 but we rarely use it for anything other than pneumatic supports that need adjustments.
