Re: Construction materials

I wish i did have pics but we straightened the bend. A robot hit us hard at the clash and bent the side piece (we used the kit frame). Anyhew our robot was on three wheels for a while.

I think FIRST classifies exotic material as something not easily obtainable like a frame made of carbon nano tubes or radio active materials. (Battle Bots seriously lists this as a banned construction material) I think it applies to anything that you can't go to a store or online and just buy or make. I still don't think anyone would make a frame out of titanium. However molding fiberglass or carbon fiber could make it onto a FIRST robot.

Hey Sanddrag what parts were titanium and how did they work out weight wise.
