Just about every printed part broke. We realized after we printed our first frame week 1 and it cracked by week 2 printing wasn't suitable for this competition (much like meccanums). One of our sponsors is Strongwell who make pultruded fiberglass structures (material used in ladders). Been very happy with it, very tough and strong.
