Most Commonly Used Aluminum Extrusion Profiles

[shewejff]

Hi all,

I have a question to throw out to the CD community. I know what aluminum extrusion profiles that our team has found that we like to use, but I'm curious what's most commonly used by other teams. What are the top five aluminum extrusion profiles that your team most commonly uses in building your robots (standard profiles excluding T-slotted)? Typical profiles include: angle, rectangular tubing, flat, c-channel, round tubing, etc. And what size?

For example, if I were to answer for team 1025, I would say:
1. Rectangular tubing 1" X 1" X 1/16"
2. Angle 1" X 1" X 1/8"
3. Rectangular tubing 2" X 1" X 1/16"
4. Flat 4" X 1/8"
5. C-channel 2" X 1" X 1/8"

Also, if this is any different than the first answer, what profiles would you recommend that an average rookie team stock up on before the season begins (again, nothing exotic or T-slotted)? Please don't answer with, "It depends on their manufacturing capabilities" or "Wait until the game is released." All you know is that it's an "average" rookie team that wants to stock up before the season.
