I think the way it works with the 8020 and welding them is that as long as you take a grinder to the parts you want to weld, it will weld fine. It's just the anodization that messes the welds up. We use 8020 (this is our second year) and although it's heavy it makes it really great for new team members to get in on the action of building and repairing the robot, because it's so easy to put together. ...If only we could use extruded made out of titanium or carbon fiber! I know, i know...
