2x1"x1/16" 606x doesn't exist locally within a 2 hour drive. We buy our aluminum in bulk each year for all of the teams we support, with specialty aluminum as-needed for FRC (like a 1x1" angle rail of 7075 recently), so online ordering isn't sustainable for everything we do.
The VEX rail costs would have been fine in hindsight (we wound up having to cut our 74" rails in half this weekend so they'd fit in a crate), but at this point they're a 5-day lead time plus we'd rather not re-make them. At first it didn't seem like they'd work since they're only 60" segments, but yea... about that hindsight...
