Re: pic: FRC294 Prototype base
I would suggest leaving yourself a lot of leeway for increasing the ride height and attachment points for joining the 2 sides. That way when you see the layout of the field next year you can tweak you design with minimal impact to allow for the climbong of ramps, stair, logs, teammates or whatever is thrown at us in the game design.
Also the cross-members from pod to pod should have a mid span reinforcement of some kind. As soon as contact is made a few times even with bumpers you may find you no longer fit in the box.
