For all those teams that are going to use extruded aluminum for their robots or models, please see the
www.itemamerica.com website. I have extensive experience with many types of extrusion and have found the German brand "item" to be by far the best - strongest, lightest, and most available sizes anywhere on the planet. Please call me at 262-363-4800 or email me:
loren@item-midwest.com. I can supply material to you at a huge discount and give you technical advice as well. We can cut, drill, and tap any pieces you need. Send me your list and I will turn it around in one day - guaranteed. We are currently supporting other teams and they find the product by far the best they have ever used.
