Bending 1/2 EMT conduit for ball hoop

Building a robot to survive 2 districts, a Regional, a Region Championship, and World Championships (plus 4 - soon to be 5 - off season events) is a challenge in itself. - Jared Russell [more]

Re: Bending 1/2 EMT conduit for ball hoop

I've used 1/2in EMT (both straight and bent) on a number of FRC robots over the years, most recently on Team Copioli for Build Blitz. 1/2in EMT is a great solution when you need a rigid frame member that needs to be curved.

The pipe bender tool for 1/2in EMT is also relatively inexpensive, you can buy them starting at $30. The one we used for Build Blitz is McMaster #2424A5 with the #8754A11 handle.
