Re: Newly Developed Chassis
Good post Rick. The System3 is a good link. They offer a trial kit that offers a good sample pack of epoxy and laminating materials. Included in the kit is their epoxy hand book that is worth the price alone. Working with composites is not hard but takes practice. Week one is not the time to dive into composite construction with no practice. Now WOOD be a good time to get some materials and research for some summer practice. There are 2 types of fiberglass. E and S2. When ever posible I WOOD use S2 glass cloth. It can give up to 30 percent better performance for a little more money. Many FRC teams are stuck on AL because it's what they know. This summer is the time to experiment with other materials.
