Can it handle a hit? With all that open space it looks a little weak even with bumpers.

Controled Flexablity is always good. Remember ductil not brittle.

This is an example of a team that KNOWS how to turn out a quality product. I'm confident it will be extremely well designed.

Those plates look like they were all milled and not waterjetted.

Your poor machinist :eek:

Looks pretty sweet.

It is a sweet chasi but it weighs almost 25 pounds isn't that a bit heavy for just the chasi... i don't know but i think i would put that weight into other things.

That may be true but machining out plates is a lot harder than doing 1x2 tubes. We have a router (thatz why probably) and are those sides waterjetted or Cnc'd. Just wanting an official word from the team Cory. Also most teams don't have a CNC and a 12 hour day is a lot for a FIRST team. On the brighter note, that chassis is so sick!!!!:ahh: :ahh: :ahh: :ahh: .

Almost definitely milled. the pockets are far too smooth/shiny for a waterjetted surface.

a nice big tank of Nos would solve that weight problem lol. (be warned, not an actual idea, just an idiotic comment made for public humor)

that thing looks incredibly strong. It should work well for the high speed collisions FIRST is predicting
