Re: 80/20 ?!?!?!

We have loads of 80/20 lying around that was either cannibalized from the pre-kitbot robots or just extra from those same years. Usually, some makes it into the robot somehow (mounts, standoffs, etc), but we usually don't plan to do it. Last year, for example, we made our electronics cover out of 1/8" polycarbonate and 80/20 (well, actually it was 20mm Bosch, but they're essentially the same thing); we did not plan this, it was just the most convenient material to do it with (although, in retrospect, we could have just bent and riveted the polycarb). So, while I have no doubt that there will be some 80/20 on the 2008 machine, I don't know where yet.
