I'd like to think that I'm at least a sometimes useful mentor. - artdutra04 [more]

Re: What materials do you most commonly use on your robots?

We've used all kinds of materials....steel, aluminum, fiberglass, wood, polycarbonate, carbon fiber......

And we generally build all of it without using any numerical control equipment. A band saw and drill press, tin snips, circular saw, jig saw, hack saw, and cordless drills will do it all.

It's good to see that you figured out that 80/20 is not a very good robot building material.
