Re: Types of Metal
A couple materials from this post are interesting to me and I would like to know where our team could buy them.
The 1X1X1/6" square tubing with the hole pattern as used by 1216 appears to be very useful and easy to work with. Does anyone have a source for this?
How about the Alumicore? When I google it, I find many sign companies. Does anyone have a source for this where we can get it before the sign companies mark it up?

For panels on our robot, we have been using 8mm Twin-Wall Polycarbonate Sheet material from Farmtek.com. It weighs 1.5 KG/m2 or about about 0.3 lb/sq ft.
