Re: Custom Frame

We did something very similar last year. I would suggest doing .090 5052 AL. And orient your motors towards the front/back of the robot. Also, make sure you have the wheels almost as far forward/backward as you can go.

Do you really save much weight/cost by doing your own custom gearbox plates versus just using a Toughbox Nano?
