I know my team is defiantly using it because our limited resources in a shop and on my old team we usually found 80/20 to be incredibly lighter than we throught and we used a lot of it for the arm, mast, chassis, well just about the entire robot. 80/20 is difficult to use for the inexperience but once you know how to manipulate it, it's amazing stuff.
