T-Slot extruded aluminum
I have read a lot about t-slot extruded aluminum and their advantages (versatility, range of options, prototype ability) and drawbacks (weight, cost) but i haven't found any figures on just how expensive this stuff is per foot.
I am looking at either 1"x1" 80-20 or 30mm x 30mm bosch or item.
I understand fasteners are even more but i just want to know a ball park figure.

This is for the upper level of the robot and will be used to build the hopper and flywheel mounts and will extend up from the kitbot chassis.
