Re: Team 321 Update - Chassis Pic

I quickly estimated these, but here:

Front and back plates are 4x27

Side plates are 4x34

Middle plate is 4x19

Each long hole is 3x8

Each short hole is 3x4


If that is right, then there are 372 in^2 of 1/2 inch 6061 aluminum on that frame... That means that the frame alone should weigh 18.9 lbs, minus wheels and bolts. Since the AndyMark wheels weigh .8 a piece, they account for 3.2 lbs, and I'll throw a pound in there for bolts.



The whole frame should weigh about 23.1 lbs.
