Folks,

The frame is just what holds the all important drivetrain to the rest of the 'bot that does the work. As long as the frame holds it all together and isn't a source of problems, then why worry about it? Our first year robot had a plywood & pine frame. The drive wheels were made from laminated 1 x 4 pine boards with rubber tread glued and stapled on. It did the job, and we had no failures in two competitions.
