Re: How Do You Make Your Robot?
It's been sheet metal since day one for 2815 (and, this season, 1398).
1618, for my three years with them, met with the most success using the kit frame and angle aluminum construction. (There was the PVC pipe structure in 2008, but that was ultimately mostly for holding up the side panels and flag holder.)
1293 has been mostly sheetmetal over the years, with 80/20 in a supporting role where it made sense. (They've been known to bolt their two drive pods together with it, then attach their superstructure to it, or for a lift mechanism.)
