I would like to dispell some myths about welding. Yes, welding can ruin your frame if you give it too much heat. By causing it to warp or bend. This is not a huge problem if you know what your doing, but you will get some warpage, but it can be fixed. I have never a good weld break on me. Most of the time the metal will break before then weld will. I have had only had 2 small welds break, they where cold, weak welds. TIG welding can be slow and frustrating, but it's a great way to build a robot. NO, you do not need to be a pro welder, while I am and experienced welder and have taken classes at school, I am not certified or anything.
