We used 1.5" aluminum angle for the front and back of our robot for the
past two years. Last year it was fine because "violent" robot interaction
occured up on the platform and there was no room to build any speed.
This year we got the front of our robot bashed in during the quarter finals.
I doubt we will be using 1/5" aluminum angle in this way again.
