We like steel. Our two most successful robots have hade a steel frame. We used aluminum, too, for our mast in 2000, but 2002 was all steel. It was ridiculously heavy, but for our simple but effective design, it was perfect. We took a heavy beating, but the only damage was superficial damage to our Lexan paneling.
We've done wood and aluminum, too. Our 1998, 2001, and OCCRA bots are all wood/aluminum hybrids. We make an aluminum frame and put in a wood base and side walls. |
