Re: PVC Frame
By frame, I assume you mean chassis, and if that is the case, the thick stuff might be strong to a human applying a load, but can snap if the load rate is high enough (i.e. getting rammed by another robot). Thinner stuff is more deformable, mainly purely because of the thickness, but I am pretty sure the rules call for a rigid frame since the dimensions cannot change.
