Re: aluminum or steel????

Consider style and temperature as well. Aluminum "cleans up" very well and looks professional and in my opinion, its easier to weld and not as messy as steel. When you deal with temperature you need to consider how much heat your robot puts out and if the metal will become brittle under the temperature, then again it all depends on how thick your piece is
