We do have stiffners between the plates, we are also joining the drive plates vertically to the rest of the chassis, this is our first sheet metal chassis so what do you exactly mean by belly pan?
The current drop is 1/8", we are using de blue nitril tread from mc master.

Concerning the gearbox issue, our last robot had it that way (direct drive) but with the 2 cim vex ball shifter, we had no trouble in our drive although we thought it was somewhat slow, thats why we are using it this way with a 3 cim Vex ball shifter
