Re: Robot Frame

The rules don't say you can't, so yes, you can. We've done it almost every year.

Re: Robot Frame

There are a number of options (wood, aluminum, steel) but the aluminum kit frame holds up well in my opinion.

Re: Robot Frame

We have used fiberglass, wood, and steel to build frames. I suggest you discuss it as a team, and if someone on your team knows how to build things with one of the materials, then that might be a good way to go. If you don't have enough experience with the other materials, then the kit frame is a good way to go.

The less effort you put into building the frame, the more effort you can put into the part of the robot that "plays the game".

Re: Robot Frame

316 has always tig welded an aluminum frame. We recommend it all the way. It's extremely sturdy and durable. If you have the resources to do it that way.
