Re: Food for thought

We used to build the frame to our robot then send it off to get welded. DuPont's safety standards don't allow welding in our workshop.

In 2004, we started using Bosch Tubing to build our frame. We still got it welded, but you can't weld that stuff well. The welding was really unnecessary anyway, and we haven't welded any frames since. Bosch Tubing is sturdy stuff and we don't have to wait for the welders anymore.
