Re: Carbide / Hardening / Casting

I doubt that Carbide would fit into the allowed matierials list. Although it was one of the hardest matierials it is also very brittle and ungiving. It is not the choice for a robot frame that is going to get beat about and it is extremely hard to machine. Hardened matierials are not needed under normal robot building, although they are useful in bearing surfaces and guides.
