Re: Is your frame tough enough for FIRST?
Going into the season this year we had a very pretty frame... but now that the season is over its not so pretty. We used 1/16 wall 1x1 tube for our frame. It held up pretty good for us all year. the bottom rails aren't so pretty anymore from robot arms and appendages getting under the bumpers and hitting the frame, also the bumpers were just high enough so if we accidentally hit the dividing wall in hybrid or teleop the bottom supports for the overpass would get under there and beat our frame up pretty bad... Ill have to see if i can get some pics of it tomorrow?!
