Sheet aluminum, lexan, and rivets are all legal too, which practically every FRC team should be able to use.

While many aspects of minibots are frustrating to me, this one doesn't seem so bad.

Did I miss something or did you just say we can use the Lego NXT brick? Our school has tons of those.

EDIT: Dumb question. I never did anything with FTC though, is that really what they use to control their robots?!?!
Im thinking of the big brick with 3 inputs and 3 outputs and the display, I think it comes with lego mindstorms.
