I am the technical advisor for Team 569. My company sponsors team 569 & team 496 (Both are LI teams.)
My company (Atlantic Industrial Technologies) is also the local Bosch dealer for the NY/NJ/Metro area. We stock the Bosch extrusion and connectors, and we even cut it to size for teams that do not have adequate machining capabilities. Just send us your cut list and we’ll send you a kit ready to assemble.
This year as a courtesy to all FIRST teams, we will be offering an extended discount on Bosch. (10% less than Small Parts)
For any team who is intertested in using Bosch extrusion for the frame of your robots, send me an email with your requirements.
Also, let us know if you need a catalog. We’ll Fed-Ex one to you right away or you can go to www.boschframing.com for an online catalog and even place online orders.
You can also fax your request to:

You are right ! There was a typo in the spread sheet pricing. Online pricing is correct. I will re-distribute an updated spreadsheet. Thanks for the “catch”
For all of you that are using aluminum extrusion for your robots or models, I would highly recommend you use the German brand “item”. item is a global company with distribution in over 30 countries including the USA. We have nationwide service centers that can cut, drill and tap your product for you and help with engineering and applications assistance. item is by far the strongest, lightest, and most diverse extrusion system in the world. If you send me a list of what you need and what processing you want, I will turn your order around in one day - guaranteed. Please call me at 262-363-4800 or email [email protected] M-Sat 9am - 9pm CST. I have been authorized to offer the FIRST teams a substantial discount -we currently support other FIRST teams and we will support yours.
