Re: Carbon Fiber

we used fiberglass for our ball transport parts (conveyors, ball tubes) and for protecting sensitive components (camera helmet) and found it very durable, easy to cut with a rotozip, easy to put together, and relatively cheap.

I realize it isnt as durable/strong as carbon fiber but overall it seems to me a better material due to its ease of use and application.
