Re: pic: Team230 Damaged Frame Rail

Looking at that I'd guess that adding a spacer in there would have helped by not allowing the walls to fold in and tear even with the same thickness aluminum material. Those thin walls were the only thing supporting the axles.


I was at Waterbury both days and some of those robots hit the defenses at high speed and caught air at times. You really don't know at times how well some parts will hold up until you give them the real live test!
