Re: Team 104's succcessful use of composites
Team 842 has used the fiberglass from creative protursions for several years. It's the material of choice for us. Several reasons:
5 times stronger than steel for its weight.
it will float. (less dense than alumnimum)
It can be worked with hand tools - drill, hacksaw, screwdriver.
If anything breaks, we can fix it in the pit wihout welding, machine shop, etc.
Its fantastic stuff.
We'll be at nationals. Stop by and talk.
And .. no they don't sponsor us -- we tried, though.
