Re: pic: 675 not-so-teaser.

Forgot to talk a bit about the simplicity: Why over-engineer a chassis when we know it works? It's real similar to last year, except stronger (egads, that's a feat!). The extrusion at the back gives us a common mounting point for any and all manipulators (interchangeability egads) as well as simplicity in dismantling the chassis (to get the back panel off, 8 bolts. to get the sides off, 8 bolts & 2 shaft collars. To get the center off, 4 bolts. All of this can be done pretty quickly, too.

Cheers,
MBaker (AKA Otaku)
