In 03, 1075s frame was 1.5" 80/20 type extrusion. We had 4" pool noodles covering 3 sides.
In 04, it was a TIG welded 1" box tube with 1/8" walls. In 04 at the Wonderland invitational, which we won (thanks 1241, 1114), we took a full speed frame to frame collision in auto that bent the frame by about 2" until it touched our wheel. A few minutes with a sawzall to remove the offending piece of frame (it happened to be part of our ball herder and not a necessary structural piece) and we were back in business.
