Re: Which is Better metal or composite materials for the chassis

We are in our third year...last year we built an all composite robot. My son, who is now a junior, says "everything held up but the chassis. It got bumped once without bumpers and collapsed because our core crunched." He recommends the aluminum/any type of metal.
