I'm not saying it's a good choice. Definitely go 6061 if you can... I would really prefer if my team did - but going 6063 isn't going to ruin the robot in this application. If you're dead set on 6063, it should work based on my team's experience.

You would know more than me. However, I have had smaller non-frame applications (like gussets) where 6063 bends more readily than 6061, so that's where I'm coming from.
