Re: Types of Metal

What, exactly, is "ITEM?" I can't just google it cuz I get a million results about video games.

Our team has been extremely reliant on 80/20, with 1'' tube stock where we need to decrease weight. We're building a new robot cart this summer, and I was wondering what you guys would suggest to carry a much heavier load than a FRC robot would be expected to stand up to. Most of the guys are leaning towards 80/20, but I'd rather avoid it because of cost, durability, and weight.

Also, where do you get chromoly?
