Re: Cool Frame Ideas?

The connectors used to assemble the frame are made out of nylon. The prototype bot is going to its second competition this weekend(we won BE 6 last weekend thanks to our partners 1626,25 and 1923 for picking us) . It's been through one competition and so far so good. I will be writing up some more detailed information on this frame when we disassemble and check for stress on the nylon joints. So far we're convinced the 80/20 quick frame makes a good, strong, light, and easy to assemble frame. I will post more information as soon as I can.
Would you mind sharing from where you're getting the nylon connectors? I've been investigating using something like those recently and haven't found very many sources for them. I'm trying to get an idea for what's available, at what cost, and what the lead times are like for getting them delivered.

Thanks if you can help
