2) It is 1.5" OD 1/32" wall tubing. We are using it because it is rigid and light.

3) Seems to be working reasonably well. I haven't been at the more recent drivers practices, and I usually don't stay very late, so I can't say for sure.

The recent driver practices have shown the robot works excellently! 971 is going to be a strong contender at SAC and SVR. IMO It will win them both, as the alliance captain.
