Unless you have infinite quantities of those plates! And besides, building the robot with good ol' nuts and bolts is fun!
Well, having been apart of this team for several years, we have never had a problem with getting our robot bent. And yes we have abused them, a lot! We are very proud of our plates, and they were completely designed by students to have low weight, but still retain their strength. We have the front and back plates made out of 3/8 aluminum, and the sides are 1/4 inch with braces that connect the two sets. So, there are also no shortage of good ol' nuts and bolts on this robot, so you don't have to worry about that.

I'm still wondering why there's 80-20.


You have such a nice light chassis then all that weight in your kicker.

Ah, well it sounds like you have a plan! 3/8 should work lol...If you say so, I'm sure it will be just fine! And about the wheels, are the middle four just for going over bumps? We never got clarified i don't think...

Actually, it is not just b/c they say so, it is because they are good at engineering. Read this again.

Condescending tones don't sound that great when discussing teams' designs by the way.
