Re: Carbon Fiber Chassis

I like the hockey stick idea!

Everyone continues to talk about the strength of carbon fiber, but I would think it's too delicate for use in an FRC 'bot chassis. I know carbon fiber is used in all sorts of military applications, but my personal experience with carbon fiber RC cars has me convinced that an FRC chassis built of carbon fiber would tweak, torque, and slowly splinter apart.
