Off the cuff, I would say titanium.. Light, strong, wonderful stuff. The Russians use a lot of it in submarines..

A friend of mine...a rather high up mucka muck in Boeing Engineering...has the sound of a Cat diesel starting and warming up as his start up sound on his laptop. I understand its gotten some priceless fits of hysterical laughter from entire rooms full of engineers all across the planet. It goes on until all the apps are loaded..then fades out. He claims its one hell of an icebreaker as he goes to visit vendors and sites.

The choice of metal really depends on what sort of behaviours you are seeking from the robot.
If you are looking for a robot that has strength, durability, and is easily controlled by logic then use maleluminem
If you prefer something which is unpredicticle, irrational, breaks down on a whim, but can fight like a banshee once a month, then use femaleluminem

Well, yes, you have it quite right.
Maleluminem and femaleluminem have different properties and have to be used appropriately.
I knew a guy who used femaleluminem for an on-site fabrication and ended-up paying the contractor megabucks for the consequences.
A case of what-you-don't-see is gonna stick it to ya!
