Re: Building the Structure of the Robot?

Besides, there isn't really such a thing as "more advanced structural materials". Most people use some form of extrusion, be it 1"x1" or 1"x3". There are teams like 148 and 217, yes, that have practically completely eschewed the use of materials like extrusion because their resources afford them that advantage, but that doesn't mean that sheet metal is better. You could even argue that a lot of the work they do with sheet metal is spent making it mimick extrusion - just look at their arm last year.

Do you mean 1" x 2" extrusion? I don't know a lot of teams that use 1" x 3" as their primary frame extrusion.
