Re: which is better aluminum or steel????
there is only one thing i can say...
Aluminum is way cheaper... Steel is way stronger and heavier. Most of the teams in FIRST uses Aluminum on their robot. this past year my team has used Steel gears for the transmission. but my suggestion would be use harden aluminum for gears and aluminum to build your robot. Aluminum gives you the option to play with weights. good luck. ![]() |
