Re: Best frame building material

(In response to welding)

The problem with NOT welding is weight. What I would suggest a team do (if it has some money) is to weld spare parts that are likely to get broken. For example, an arm is easy to break, and so is the frame. Weld spares of those. Additionally do NOT weld the entire robot. Weld PARTS. Weld a bottom frame and separately weld the top frame, and bolt those together. 4-8 bolts = better than 40 - 80 bolts.
