Re: pic: Sheet Metal DriveTrain

Yeah, the last one's not attached
Well, we have a really cool bumper design, which allows for us to never need to take off the bumper (unless of course we really need to). Basically the little slits underneath the triangles are bumper mounts. then we're going to have like a pin or something that keeps them in place, along with anything else needed to hold them in place. As for the actual bumper, we get one bumper with the two color schemes sewed together by a local upholstery business, put some velcro on them, and then we just pull the fabric off the velcro, and bam, its now the alliance color that we changed it to. It's kind of hard to explain, but if you see 461 at a competition, swing by and ask about our bumper system.
The sheet metal is 1/8 in. thick and weighs, based on my memory from the CAD's iProperties weight analysis, somewhere around 4-6 pounds
