[Jon Stratis]

We've been using our robot from last year for test driving this year, and while many things have gone wrong with it (we've lost some bolts and other pieces, the main circuit panel popped off and pulled out a few wires, etc), the frame is still as good as it was when we went to our competition last year. And trust me - our drivers have driven it straight into cement walls and pillars... one even almost too a door off it's hinges with it!

The frame is definitely strong enough - I would attribute any breakage to "user error" - bad nuts and bolts, improper mounting of other pieces to it, etc.
