Bingo, the Versa Blocks take up extra space and change the profile of the extrusion. We are using WCP Side Bearing Blocks in this drive. Sorry about the black parts, this render was the only one I had on hand.

Garolite or 4-6mm high quality plywood are plenty strong, and easy to mount electronics too.
My personal preference is the wood painted black.
the water/laser time put into a bellypan can cut out several systems worth of parts elsewhere on the robot.

We have a shop that's offered up their CNC Plasma Cutter. We plan to cut it, then check tolerances to see if it's good enough for use. If it isn't, our fallback is to use one of our schools CNC routers to machine a wooden bellypan and paint it black.

I got a few PM's about the glossy CIM's. Regrettable to report, but they don't actually exist
