Re: Team 321 Update - Chassis Pic

It's actually quite light. Some of the pieces are REALLY light (aka feel like nothing), but the inner plates with the motor mounts weigh it down. I haven't weighed it yet, but my guess it is about 15lbs. in the picture....with everything else my guess will be that the chassis will be about 50lbs max.

Seriously, it weighs a LOT less than it appears in the picture, and yes, that is 1/2" 6061. It's name is probably going to be "Frank the Tank", basically because this chassis is built like a tank. With bumpers, it'll be unstopable.

The dimensions are 27"Wx33.375"L. With the bolt heads we will be pushing ~27.5"W, just making it in the 28"x38" box. Hopefully the axle bolt heads aren't too thick, otherwise I'll be grinding them down tomorrow to make them shorter. We will be entering in the 5'/110lb. class.
