Re: paper: 2014 HOT Tech Notes

Thank you so much for this. When our team did terrible in 2013, I spent days looking over things like this. I ran into your tech notes and it was like I struck gold. I showed this to our head engineer and we decided to do what you did. We used waterjet 5052 1/16" aluminum and lowered the pneumatics use. We also did our own little spin by adding some mounting holes, cable management holes, and some strain reliefs built in to the chassis. We even had to buy our own 5052 stock because Chrysler (or fiat now ) only had 6061.

In short, thanks. This really helped us get a good base down to start tinkering with.
