Re: Steel Frame?
a robot made of steel is still a robot. if you have somone who's skills in fabricating steel are well refined you can definetly make a lightweight sturdy robot using steel. Steel has been used for hundreds of years by many cultures, industries, nations and handymen. the weight and streignth of aluminum and steel is nearly proportional as steel is about 3 times stronger and 3 times heavier than aluminum. steel is reputedly easier to weld, less prone to melting, bending and harder to sctratch. being less expensive than aluminum as well also offsets its tendency to oxidise into rust.
