Re: Types of Metal
Our team used to use 80-20 but switched off of it for weight issues. We now use one-inch extruded aluminum (I don't know a specific maker) for most of our robot. Several high strength needs still use 80-20, but extruded forms almost all exterior parts of our robot. It has been very strong despite being hollow on the inside (we don't fill it).
Edit: We do use kitbot frame for the core of our robot. It has been proven strong, and allows us to have a working frame first week.
