oh we do learn!
Last year we kinda didn't order the steel on time , and ended up using that horrid thick stuff with twice the size of our standard material!
This year, steel is back , but with our standard size ordered well before the competition. Steel > Aluminium(The proper English spelling
), you can't weld ALU easily, we have little equipment here .... steel is nice, stronger than ALU, and easier to weld, and has the only slight disadvantage of weight (ok, the density is about 3 to 4 times more for steel ...) but being so strong, we don't need much of it
[conclusion]Steel > Aluminium[/conclusion]
