Don’t get me wrong. The pushing, shoving, and the battles for the top made for an exciting game. On the other hand, some of us have serious doubts as to whether we can stay below the $3.5k ceiling while building our machines to military specs in order to survive the game.

Actually building a durable machine is not as hard as you think it is. 80/20 Profile and Bosch Profile is tough as nails and easy to assemble. I know quite a few people have used it in their battlebots and this is the second year our team has used it. We have never had a problem with the robot breaking. It is easy to assemble and durable. (We let last years robot roll off the table with only minor damage) It can take a fall off a bench top and still be good to go. Not to mention the oddles and oddles of fun connectors you can buy. Its a tad expensive than just plain old metal and bolts but it's much more versitile.

Like fishing, some may get away as you are reeling them in, but never letting out enough line to get the big ones at the bottom is just disappointing. - Eric O [more]
