Hexagonal Chassis Design

Hello!

I read a bit about hexagonal chassis and am considering trying it out this year. I would like some advice.

How would you design an hexagonal drive?
Which is preferred: regular rectangular frame and and hex bumpers vs hex frame and hex bumpers?

I heard some mentioning using sheet metal for it, is it needed / preferred? What about making the bumpers themselves?

Thanks a lot!

Tomer
