Years of testing/ trail and error. If you are referring to the aluminium bars that it is built out of, then it is Bosch rexroth extruded aluminium. It is commonly called 80-20.

If you dig around our team website (team342.org), you might find some pics and inventor drawings.

We have always tried to play offensive, but as for Clay's defense comment: just try and push this thing sideways if you want .

what do you use to fasten the pieces together

my team is doing somthing similar with our design and we hit a road block.

you may already know about the rule that states that your frame CANNOT articulate. this issue is disscused alot in many other threads and caused my team to reconsider our design ( i feel for the better). they obviously go into more detail so check them out if you havent already.

just a point since we have similar solutions, dont forget to check the legality of your "frame" and "perimiter" ,becuase this year the rules are VERY picky about what is legal and what is not.

good luck with your design. look out for team 698's version!
