Depends.

We use a MIG welder we received through a grant, we purchased a spool gun for it, and we teach a few of our kids to use it.

We normally use 1/4" aluminum plate for our drive train and weld the cross members into place. This year we also welded our shooter chassis (1/8" aluminum) together.

47 matches this year, not one broken weld.
