Re: 80/20 chassis

Last year we used two 38" long 1020 (1"x2") in our drive.

In 2007 we used four bars of 1010 in our drive.

80/20 is best used sparingly, we don't use much of it outside the drive train. We don't bother with the fasteners. We just tap the ends (1/4-20) and weld it together. Its much cheaper, lighter, and stronger that way.

There is an ebay store that sells the stuff at good discounts. Although we have a supplier here in the Bay Area that gives FIRST teams a discount. Careful who you order from. The so called "80/20 suppliers" don't always keep 80/20 in stock as I have found out the hard way...
