Re: pic: First attempt at Sheet Metal Chasis

Looks good for a first time, however as others have mentioned you need space for a transmission in there, in our sheetmetal chassis we made mounting holes for the gearbox between the center wheel and the end and powered it via 35 roller chain.
Also be sure to leave sufficient ground clearance, many flat field frc games...aren't (bumps around towers in 2011, etc).
What thickness, material and bend radius are you using?
