Re: Wood vs Aluminum

Im a Lexan man myself, its fairly easy to work with and bends nicely.
this year we're playing with honeycomb carbon fibre, we havnt done a lot with it yet but we're loving the weight advantage it gives

if i had to chose, id go with aluminum.
when in comes down to picking an alliance partner, if both are the same in terms of ability, ill take the aluminum bot.
