Is .25" plywood really strong enough for an FRC drivetrain? Nobody in this thread or the other one mentioned strength issues, so I assume that it's good, but my experience seems to contradict this.

I've attached a picture of our .75" plywood bumpers from when we rebuilt them after MAR champs. As you can see, there's a large crack down through them. Why do you think our bumpers broke and your frame will hold up?
