[Roopam]

What are the preferred materials for the arb?
Also can you tell me the pros and cons of using a solid arb and a hollow arb?

If someone throws an answer to you, is it going to be what you tell the judges if you're asked why you chose hollow (or solid) arb? Pull out your materials/ mechanics of solids text book.

Steel? Al? Titanium? Carbon? Unobtainium?

Biggest difference is mass and angular deflection. All this will be in lecture notes!
