Re: Chassis Materials

We always used some type of aluminum. Whether is it 80/20 or the kit frame, rarely do we need to use anything else. Ocassionally we have used harded steel for things that need to be extremely strong and we used lexan for all of our electrical work, but if you saw our robot this year, you would understand what I mean when I say we are all aluminum.
