Re: Making your own composite parts: looking for tips
Team Fusion has used composite material in 2005 and 2007 for the electrical board, the ramps last year, and armor in 2005 (we had a bulletproof robot). We get our composite material from a local company that one of our student's dad work for. We have had good experience with carbon fiber and fiberglass with a balsa wood core. As to make it, I'm not really sure. I know you need resin, heat, and a vacuum bag to suck the air out.
