The upper frame which is all 1/16" wall 1"x1" aluminum tube is held together with 1/8" polycarb gussets with 3/16" rivets. There is not too much it needs to support and since we can cut nearly a whole robot's worth of them in a single pass of the CO2 laser cutter we have at the shop it is very quick and easy way to get fairly sturdy joints. The lower frame is 8020 1010 held together by their counterbore anchor fasteners.
