Re: Angel Wings

These wings were manufactured during three, 5 hour, fix-it windows. Two during one week after a regional and one after another regional week. This was perfectly legal per this rule:
<R22> During the “FIX-IT WINDOW” following each Regional Competition weekend: During this period, all teams (not just those teams attending a Regional Competition) may utilize one or two 5-hour FIX-IT-WINDOWS to manufacture SPARE, REPLACEMENT and UPGRADE PARTS and develop software for their ROBOT at their home facility (not at the competition
site). The timing of these “FIX-IT WINDOWS” is at the discretion of the team, but all work must be completed between the opening of the Competition (at 8:30 am on the Thursday of the Competition weekend) and 8:30 am on the Thursday following the Competition weekend.

Are those made out of anodized aluminum?
They are made of .032" T6 6061 aluminum. Very light and very strong. The holes are flanged upward to minimize tearing.

Quote:
How much does each weigh?
About 15 pounds. That's 2 pounds lighter than the original
