Re: [FVC]: Curiosity: Did anyone use the aluminum parts?
We used two aluminum kits to construct our robot. Essentially everything but the bottom drive chassis was aluminum. I have a feeling our arm would have required more than two motors on a 1:7 ratio to be lifted had it not used aluminum. Using aluminum elsewhere on the robot was probably unnecessary - but we had it so why not use it? Our robot is 14.5 total with a battery in.
