Pocket everything. Run the FEA, figure out what parts are important, get rid of everything else (within reasonable boundaries, of course.) Basically, it would be our minibot frame last year, for every single part of our frame. As it is, we don't have any CNC capabilities in our lab. We do have access to a wood and plastic router and a 60 watt laser, but that's really it.
Very sweet setup. Did the students do the CAM work themselves? Very impressive. I like the angle brackets, should be very strong and good at resisting torque. I'd be a bit concerned about it bending, though. There's a reason the standard gussets have an angle to them.
