Re: Bosch Aluminum Structural Framing

We are interested in using Bosch Aluminum Structural Framing for the robot frame and would appreciate any suggestions. If you use proprietary extruded framing for your robot, who is the manufacturer? We are considering Bosch 30x30. Is this too light for the frame? Did you use Aluminum Structural Framing in the past and change to something else? What are you using now?

we are using 10/10. You can go with a fairly small size and still have plenty of beefiness, probably even more than you need. Keep in mind that extrusion is VERY heavy in the larger sizes, heavier than steel I believe.
