Using the Ashby material selection methodology, we will go through the process of selecting materials for your space frame chassis, considering all the restrictions given in the rules and any other materials properties that are relevant to your design. At the end, you will be able to identify a number of suitable materials to choose from and justify your choice in the competition.
