This year our frame came from the kit. We took the two extrusions from the kit and cut them down the center, thus leaving 4. Then, we trimmed down 2, cut all the edges at 45 deg. angles, and used a small piece of angle bolted in each corner to hold it together. It worked great. Really quick and simple, and it was strong too. We usually shoot for aluminum extrusion, or aluminum sheets for our chassis.

There's no such thing as being too simple!
Look for Team #1132, RAPTAR Robotics at the VCU Regional this year!
