Re: pic: Team 6065 Chassis
This is a really nice chassis. Great use of COTS parts to build a simple robust frame. My favorite detail is the use of the angle brackets to mount the superstructure to both sides of the drive rail - I wish I had thought of something robust like that for my own team's frame!
Will you have any more cross-support for this chassis than what is shown? Perhaps in your superstructure? Right now, just the one member in the back for cross support might result in a less rigid frame than you'd prefer. Easy ways to stiffen the frame up include tying the two gearboxes together with standoffs, or running a 1x1 across the top of the frame somewhere (maybe directly behind the gearboxes?)
In any case, this is a great frame.
