Re: Tube Versus Channel
I was thinking of the pre-cuts as basis for prototyping frames of superstructure. We use a primarily wood-shop, so prototypes tend to get made of scrap lumber. Cutting and fastening them together securely seems to suffer for the focus on getting right to trying the mechanism. If a reasonably secure framework can be made quickly, then maybe the ideas won't get lost because the prototype was too flimsy to tell if the idea were any good.
Sorry, that seems cloudy even to me. Just think making a sloppy pile of crates to get to the cookie jar. More attention to solidity means better validation of the demonstrated principle.
