Re: pic: Annotated Chassis Drawing
Looks impressive.

A question about the module pivots, though: is there anything inside the frame to reinforce the pivot points? It looks like you've got a 7/8" hole in 1"×1"×1/16" aluminum tube. Especially on the perimeter of the frame, that has the potential to get rather bent during competition, unless reinforced.

While I have your attention, is this intended to be used with a sprung suspension, or a powered mechanism to drive the pivots?
