Re: pic: What about this???

My team did 1/4" last year and it was overkill. 3/8" is even more than you need. If you get some cross supports between the side plates and support it from the inside then you could go with 1/8 inch. Make sure to cut out some of the weight in structurally insignificant points in the metal, otherwise this could be very heavy and take away from other subsystems of the robot.
