Re: pic: 6WD Module

Madison, we are quite impressed with the idea of removable six wheel modules, and have begun to think about the design of one.

My question is, how to you intend to attach the modules to your frame? I've considered welding angle onto the outside frame, angle onto the modules, bending tabs, etc., but I'm not completely pleased with these methods of attachment. We intend to use 1x1 tube, in the kitbot arrangment style- perhaps even the kitframe, and I run into problems intersecting gearboxes and motors with necessary frame members, just in my head.
