The Rookies Need Some Help
Hi folks,
We are a rookie team and would like to know if anyone has a suggestion on where to get aluminum stock for our robot. Thanks in advance for your help. |

Materials
On of the easiest stores to get materials from is Home Depot or Lowes.
They usually have a good stock of angle Alum. If they are low go to a local hardware store. Ask your parents they may have a contact with a vendor that has a supply. Remember: With all materials, they must be within the limits of the additional materialslist and specification that you were provided. |

Is McMaster-Carr Legal?
Up until your post I had asumed such suppliers were not legal based on the following statement in the rules:
"Items should be available at local hardware stores or building supply centers such as Lowe's or Home Depot." Any clarification from the judges is appreciated. Thanks, Jim Meyer |

You are correct. To even the playing field supplies must be local.
Home Depot is great! |
