Re: pic: 3992 Sheet Metal Chassis

Looks really nice! I like the team branding on the sides for weight reduction. Do you think that all the material removal on the chassis channels near the middle might reduce the stiffness of your chassis? Overall I am excited to see this come to life. What are you doing for ground clearance? Did you design this to go over frisbees or push them out of the way?

Also what are your plans for chain tensioning?

Team 1716 is doing a sheet metal drivetrain this year as well and I will try to post pics soon and maybe CAD as well.
