Thanks for the hat-tip! But we certainly didn't invent the side-plates + stand-offs drivetrain, nor have we perfected it. One of the examples we show our students is one of 548's from a few years ago:



Our side plates were 3/16" I believe...

Our drivetrain was quite heavy by most people's standards. I want to say that everything in the Electronics Board picture was over 60 lbs (not including battery).

That's working off a weak memory, although if I made an egregious error, my hope is someone from the team can chime in and correct me.
