This was all just scraps from my garage. For structural robot parts above the drive train, we use versa frame and 6061 channel (and a small amount of tubing) usually from Bayou Metals. When I do the more complete testing, I'll be sure to get some 6061 scraps from the recycle bin at the robot workshop.
Gummy? Would you please elaborate?
