Re: Extruded aluminum custom designed for FRC robots
We (FIRST team 329) very much like the idea of new extruded shapes, especially those that are specifically geared toward FRC. In fact, I too cannot believe that it hasn't been thought of earlier. I would be willing to bet that if it takes off in 2014, AndyMark would also pick up some of the product and be a vendor for Klein--but who knows, they've done it before with products created by individual teams who also sell their own products.
I think we'd have to see how we could actually use the extrusions and would we have to spend too much time removing excess material--it does seem a bit on the heavy side as it is now.
