The test is a bit flawed. Instead of making the bars thicker to account for varying density, you should either change the weight applied or the width of the bar.

[@Posh1G]

true, but they got the sponsor and that's what counts

[@kornblau1]

it really depends on the design constraints that you have. in many "robotic competition" cases - the weight is limited - so all parts are of the same weight. in some cases, the length and width are also defined - for example, plates holding bearings/ mechanisms with a defined size - in that case, the only "free" parameter is the thickness of the part. as you suggest - there are of course situations where this test is invalid (e.g. situation where you could change the parts' width.. or make holes in a thicker plate), but there are situations where this is the right test
