Re: Construction materials
Aluminum's done the job for 1293 on both robots.
Although that lexan splash guard we put on underneath the bubble maker (to keep the Victors and RC below nice and dry) does look pretty nice...
(By the way, this is why you shouldn't throw out all of those scrapped ideas immediately--that same piece of lexan was going to be a mounting board for electronics, until we changed the design on the arm. And an earlier version of our winch side plate became our extended battery holder.)
