Re: pic: Its almost done
Wait, are you guys saying that we shouldn't build our robot with PVC? It's too fragile, it's too weak, it'll break? Maybe we should redesign our robot then. Oh, I'll let Bill Beatty from Team 71 know too. I think they have a couple national championship robots that used a whole lot of PVC...
When used properly, PVC is an extremely light, strong, compliant (and cheap!) material for use on a FIRST robot. I have seen a lot of PVC parts bend at some extreme angles, and return to their original shape. Aluminum parts don't seem to like such usage. I would recommend the glueing method of attachment over the bolts. Bengineer
