Re: pic: Inventor Fun

i think this is a pretty cool design; i like the use of the rods as structural members. what material thickness are you using, and why'd you choose to go with this option?

also, i notice that the rods on the sides don't run the length of the chassis, and i'm not sure how thick the base plate is; are there any concerns about the frame flexing (especially in the center)? or are you counting on support from the added superstructure that'll (probably) come with an end effect?
