Looks nice, guys. Also a lot lighter than the extrusion frame you did last year. Good luck!
We were considering carbon fiber, but we did not use it. We just put a material on top of the aluminum tubing on our grabber to make it gripper the ringer better.

Our chassis is much lighter than last year. Instead of having 2 layers of bosch, we only have 1, with the other layer being aluminum. For the first time in a long time, we were never over weight!
