Re: Chassis Materials

We use the kitbot frame, along with aluminum for things that need to be strong, and Lexan (Not plexiglass!) for things that just need to hold things. We're experimenting with aviation plywood and composites for non-structural items to save weight. We'll sometimes use whatever seems to fit the bill.

Mostly aluminuum by weight.
