Found this stuff, looks like mini 8020! Neat!

Hm...I'm not sure now strong the metal is, but it might be something we could use on the robot. :D

I'm not kidding. :geek:

Probably, though I'm not sure what for...

We could use it for the drivers station, which we'll probably have to redesign just to fit the laptop on there (which as far as I know has to be open). And who knows about whatever plugs into the laptop - ick.

Agreed on the Drivers Station rebuild. I think the one we have right now is a bit ghetto. I mean the zip-tie-held strap...right.

As for what we could use it for..I mean, I'm not sure either, but it depends on how strong it is/compatibility with 80-20.

We worked hard on that and plus the strap was a last minute idea so....shush. :P

We could definitely use it for the DS, though 8020 holds plexiglass better probably.

It might be a good idea to get our hands on some of this stuff. :D
