I'm not so sure about that. To me, it looks like the aluminum belly pan of the long oriented frame seems to have cutouts for gearboxes right in the middle. Also, why would an elevator need a belly pan? Maybe it's honestly just a second chassis. Perhaps they're just being GP and helping another team fab or sharing their work space.

Although to be completely honest, I don't know what you're making here, but I really hope it's a flop-bot. After all, this is the first year flop-bots have been legal for a very long time.
