Re: Alternative Materials
In 2007, 330 used corrugated plastic and thinwall aluminum tubing for their ramps. Their robot also featured a fiberglass arm. In previous years, they've experimented with fiberglass, thinwall, and nylon.
Also, there is that tubular plastic that any home improvement store carries: PVC. It's great for arms, rollers, and light-duty protection.
