It's much lighter than a solid aluminum plate, and will serve well as an electronics pan as well as providing the torsional stiffness the diagonals that a diamond bellypan provide.
The plan is to use either .0625" polycarbonate or garolite to allow us to leave it solid, maintain the weight advantage, and to easily mount and insulate electronics.

We're partnering with another team to help with the waterjetting.
