Re: Input On Steel chassis w/wood inset

I know it has been mentioned before, but I haven't seen much about teams using carbon fiber in frame construction. The way I see it, carbon fiber tubing from McMaster is reasonably priced, but has very thin walls, perfect for some filling with aforementioned structural foam. Combine it with some bullet resistant polycarb, maybe a little Kevlar or Ti, silver conductor wiring, and you'd have plenty of shock value... no money though. Seriously, that carbon fiber tubing looks great for arms, and if only I could find a good sorce of silver wiring I'd be pushing that through on my team at this very moment.
