Go to Post I urge them to build the kitbot and repeateadly smash it into a concrete wall in order to sate their anger. It will soon wane when they manage to do more damage to the wall than to the kitbot. That is honestly the reason that we ended up using the kitframe this year. - Andrew Blair [more]

Re: Need for Aluminum Gears and Sprockets?

I don't honestly see the wieght savings(I know how light it is, I'm just not sure the cost of them justifies the savings). Also, will these be annodized? Or will they be left raw? I know the 7075 is a heck of a lot stronger(automag bodies) than 6061, but is apparently much harder to annodize. This could icrease your cost some.
