Re: What kind of material will you be using for your arm/forklift?

like last year our frame is made out of Chromali. Light as aluminum but much stronger... although very expensive.. i dont even know how we paid for all of it but thats what were using this year for the frame and the prototype made now also has the arm made out of that.... we need as light as possible because of all the weight from our pneumatics. we have 3 or 4 pistons to run through out the match so its gonna be heavy

last year we used triangular aluminum for our telescopic arm... idk if any of you noticed our robot last year? midwest champs? #269
