Re: T-Slot extruded aluminum

We've used 8020 products for several years now - the only problem has been weight at times. It's very nice to be able to slide assemblies around the robot during build and testing, when unforseen "features" of our robot rear their head. Once everything is where you need it, you can drill through the extrusion or tap weld for extra strength, but we've fallen off of ramps 5 ft tall and never had structural damage with the 8020 line.
