I'm confused by your question. We aren't switching to aluminum, we are switching from extrusion to tubing (for the purpose of welding pieces together not bolting)
But we use aluminum, yes, to keep weight down to a minimum.

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.
