The only problem I can see with 80/20 is that is heavier than what we used last year. We used 1" aluminum tubing.
We drew up the robot using AutoCAD, than cut the tubing to length. We than had it professionally welded. We got the finished frame back in 2 days. We had the back-up frame 3 days later.
The only draw back is that we couldn't make any adjustments to the frame. We did think ahead and made the frame 1" shorter and skinnier than the max. limits. This gave us room for adding sides.
