Re: Need help, Titanium / Carbon Fiber / Aluminum

To agree with everyone here about the carbon fiber. Our team uses carbon fiber claws, and while the look nice and are quite resilient to damage, we have broken two, one against a wall, the other from another team getting caught and going the other way. So if you ever use carbon fiber BRING EXTRAS. We had spares made and have plenty lying around the pit at all times, just incase we get another breakage. If we had not brought extras, we would not have been able to compete.
