Re: Is your frame tough enough for first?
we did our robot with an 80/20 frame this year.. the same chassis lasted from NJ to Chesapeake to atlanta. our hardest hit was in atlanta first elimination match our autonomous goes crazy and we hit the wall soo hard the entire wall is moved... the bumpers arent there our robot steering mechanism is toast... turns out the force angled one of the beams so the connecting point to the main chassis went from 90 degrees to say 65-70... neways our robot weighed 130 with bumpers and top speed which is what it hit the wall at was 25fps.

other than that the 80/20 frame has held up very well.
