Re: pic: My First Sheet Metal FRC Drivetrain

Assuming you add some superstructure connecting the two sides, I don't believe twisting would be a problem. As Chris said in the other thread, those gearbox plates look slightly too lightened, but if you put a few long standoffs between the gearboxes to cross-brace them, it might help.
Just make sure you understand why you made each design decision you did, and it looks great.
