Re: Team 935 as of 2-2-2008

Regarding the weight of the frame- it's aluminum extrusion, isn't it? Bolting the entire frame must add quite a bit of extra weight, and extrusion is at least twice as heavy than box tubing due to sheer mass. Are you guys going to be a pushing bot? Weight would help there. A robot pushing the weight limits isn't always bad. Sorry, pun not actually intended.
