FIRST like life is what you make of it, if you would rather go through FIRST worrying about what other teams do to make their robots, then your destined for disappointment. if you go through FIRST making the most of it doing the best you and your team can then it doesn't matter what other teams do. - Mike Schroeder [more]
Also a 1/8" sheet of 7075 would be quite expensive (well maybe not crazy expensive, but you could probably get two 6061 pans for a 7075 pan price wise) and overkill. 254 and many of the westcoast teams use 6061-T6 bellypans pocketed @ .125" Thick.

Thanks, I just assumed they were using 7075 because they use it for so many other things
