It was as unpleasant as it sounded and very weak. IIRC a versa gusset or two was thrown in at some point after the plywood started to crack.
The best way I have seen so far is making a seperate, hexagonal, gusseted bumper frame out of 1x1 tubing. If you have the ability to make gussets it is just like making any other mechanism frame out of versaframe.
