Carbon Fiber

I've seen a lot of teams use carbon fiber in different parts of their bots. We recently acquired a composite sponsor, and were considering constructing the chassis and frame out of this composite material.

It would be totally offseason, and we would test it thoroughly before we ever decided to use it for an actual season.

I was wondering though if this is practical for FIRST.

Also, if the company were to actually make the chassis and frame, it would all be one piece, since they would mold it all together, not as seperate pieces and then connect them to each other with carbon fiber strips and resin.
