Are you planning to build one before build season for practice?
No top plate or cross beams should be needed.

There are 27 plywood parts in the chassis, 5 in each gearbox and 7 in each wheel.

Not sure; we'll see how much time we have. We will at least be prototyping the wooden wheels and experimenting with laser-cutting larger parts.

With electronics, no battery, ~34.7lbs. The wood chassis, including gearbox structure and bumper mounts, weighs ~10.2lbs.
