Re: pic: 4004 drive base 'License Plate'

Looks neat; we did a similar bit of laser cutting on last year's robot and backlit it with green (school color), though we did it on a piece that started twice as thick as it normally would have needed to be (1/8" vs 1/16").

Is this a structural member? If so, did you leave enough metal at the thinnest spots (the verticals on the M and R) so that it won't buckle?
