Re: Carbon Fiber Chassis

We made a mechanism out of composits (kevlar) a few years back. By no means was it too weak. The issue was that in order to mount anything, some solid backing was needed, like wood.
Haveing played lacrosse, I have seen composits fail. They don't bend like aluminum, when they fail, they go completely.
