there is a good chance that it will bend

[psycho_fling]

im guessing ti then for weight to strength ratio???

[typhoon_driver]

whoops sorry i misread your original post, thought you said 900mm. A 90mm long bar should be fine for a featherweight

Is that a typo? if 90mm it wont bend, if 900mm it would flex alot but should get the robot over fine.

no 90mm thanks guys
