Whatever material you decide to use, make sure to experiment with it before the season starts. A robot made out of 80/20 that can play the game is better than spending 6 weeks trying to figure out a new material and not having enough time to refine your design. If you're barely finished your robot last year in the 6 weeks, make sure your team this year is able to be competitive before taking on additional challenges.

Quoted for truth. Resources means experience as well as material and capability.
