I disagree. We use the 1 1/2" Aluminum tubing and it makes it much stronger. Last year, our robot got tipped over 3 times and did not show the slightest hint of damage. When making a frame, keep in mind that the best robot is lousy once it falls apart. The main point of the frame is to keep everything from falling apart. It does not necessarily have to be fancy, it just has to be functional. Remember, function over form.
