6061 bends fine if you stay above the minimum bend radius. Our robot's baseplate this year was 1/8" 6061 with 3 bends (each had a 3/8" bend radius, which is above the minimum bend radius for 0.125" 6061).
However, the .090" 5052 sheet Akash is using allows for much smaller bend radii (3/32", according to
here).
