Re: Frame Material

One very easy way to pretty much fix all the warping problems is to mount a continuous piece of 3/8" baltic birch plywood to the bottom of the frame. Only cut out where you need to for the wheels and chain. This will greatly strengthen the frame plus give you a non-conductive mounting surface for all the electronics.
