For all those teams using extruded aluminum for their robots: I recommend the German brand "item". It is by far the strongest, lightest, and most diverse extrusion system in the world. I can offer design assistance, product cut to length, drilled, tapped and shipped to your site at an extensive discount. We will ship your required material in one day. Send an email with your required material to
loren@item-midwest.com or call 262-363-4800 9am to 8pm CST M-Sat. Please visit the website
www.itemamerica.com for an online catalog or call me for a catalog and/or design assistance. We have supported other teams with this product and they find it to be the best system available.
