!! Building Materials
* __plastics__: nylon, acrylic (AKA perspex or plexiglas), Delrin, polycarbonate
* __metals__: copper, aluminium/aluminum, in tubes, "L", "U" channels, and square cross section
* __PC boards__: fibreglass, lightweight and extremely strong
* __wood__: e.g., birch is strong and light, especially if built as a laminate
It's also possible to 3D print plastic components.
!! Different Methods to Connect Things Together
__Glue__ is not recommended because it is permanent and hinders experimentation, except to construct
components (like frames or armatures). Robot components are connected to each other with temporary/semi-permanent connectors like:
* 2mm (2M), 2.5mm, 3mm (3M) and 4mm (4M) nuts and bolts, preferably stainless steel (but any will do). You'll likely need some kind of lock washer, nylon lock nut (nylock), etc. to keep it from vibrating loose.
* nylon wire ties, which come in various widths and lengths
* velcro, normal or "industrial strength" (either as straps, dots, squares, or larger rectangles)
* electrical or masking tape (for temporary use, as the glue either hardens or gets sticky if you wait too long)
