What types of metal do you use for your robot in general?

[Max Boord]

1065 uses .125 thick C and L channel as well as versa tubing for our robot construction. We buy large amounts of it before the season starts and get it powder coated early in the build season so the end robot is always powder coated without taking time out of the build season to get it done.

4592 is an all sheet metal team. So the entire robot is built from .090 5052 made by our sheet metal sponsors. Occasionally .125 inch is used when thinner material is not strong enough. We also use quarter inch thick plate for gearboxes and wheel hubs.
