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.
It's very similar to 80/20, with a few minor differences in features, but overall, it's going to have the same durability/weight. The cost may be a little cheaper, but I'm not certain about that.
