The frame, as it is now, is quite stable, but there will defiantly be cross bars bolted in once the individual systems are finished. For instance I was thinking i would mount a aluminum plate to parallel cross bars then mount the gear box to it, but this would leave the rear unsupported. I haven't received the boxes yet i am only going off of last year's bane bots and pictures online.

Do you say not to direct drive because of the nature of the planetary gearbox? Because we have done very well in the past with it direct drive to a normal style gearbox.
