Re: Need help, Titanium / Carbon Fiber / Aluminum
this really depends what for. Chassis? Manipulator supports(arm tower)? Mainpulator (claw)? Motor mounts? the list goes on. Some other materials used on robots just fyi are fiber glass (like boat hulls), polycarbonate (plastic sheeting), PVC pipe, steel, and composite boards. I dont ever see that much of carbon fiber or titanium.

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.

GO DANVILLANS!!
