1x1x.125 aluminum tubing, welded, powder coated. We have a sponsor that can do welding for us so we were able to get by with 1/8" aluminum.
Also, this powder coated frame became our practice bot because we didn't come up with a rig for keeping axle holes aligned during the welding process =(. It was late in the season so we tried a fix by match drilling some plates and drilling out the axle holes on the inside runner for our practice bot (I'm surprised, but I can't find a good picture of it). Since it worked, we spray painted our frame originally intended as a practice bot frame and implemented the fix on the powdercoated frame during/after bag and tag. I liked to refer to our comp bot frame as the Ugly Duckling.
