Re: pic: 2004 chassis 930
We also use 8020 (-1010, 1" x 1") for our basic chassis. Problem is the weight, especially if you don't really need the strength. If the chassis pictured is close to the robot footprint limits (30 X 36) then I would conservatively estimate about 64 feet of extrusion used in this design. You are looking at approximately 32 pounds, and that is BEFORE any wheels, sprockets, chain, gears, motors, pneumatics, battery, ..., and any additional mechanisms to play the game. OUCH ... I don't think we could stand that.
