Re: How are bellypans made?

We CAD ours and a sponsor water-jets it from 1/4 inch aluminum. We then tap directly into it and attach our electronics that way.

Previous to this we used ABS and nuts and bolts. However, in 2010 and 2011 we had so little clearance under the robot that we had to tap the baseplate or countersink flat-head bolts from the bottom up.
