The latter. We've got five years' experience with belts and are confident in our ability to get it right using
this.

We're happy with how it is right now, but are going to abuse the heck out of it this fall and see what needs improvement on all levels of functionality, but with a particular eye toward robustness. We'll revisit ribbing before sending it to cut.

The bumpers will be mounted to those corner pieces and to the front and back cross braces, adding the strength of the plywood and aluminum angle to the overall strength of the frame. We're pretty confident that it's already overkill, but testing will tell.
Thanks!
