Legality of Fiberglass as a building material?

To put it simply, its clearly become this. The teams that can score a lot, do well. Rather shocking, isn't it? It doesn't matter if you're a shooter, dumper, power dumper, gravity dumper, spitter, flinger, dunker, shumper, barfer, dropper, or whatchamacallit. Points are points. - Looking Forward [more]

Re: Legality of Fiberglass as a building material?

It's all in the design, choice of material and construction techniques. We have made many light weight and durable arms from pultrusions. Never had a failure. I have seen many AL arms eat them selves. I have seen teams use poor construction methods with Pultrusions and watch them fail.
