Considering the bend strength of the 1010 I think is 3600 lbs, I think the 1010 should be fine. We used it to make the entire frame of our robot,with no ill effects. (We liked to get into pushing contests too) Anyway, the only part that was more beefed up then the 1010 was the 2010 we used on our arm to make it wider. I would say that 1010 is more than adequate for the frame.
