Re: pic: FRC 1771 Concept Drivetrain

I actually spent a lot of time looking at your robot from this past season when designing this. The main reason I have the bends going outwards is so that it is easier to work on things on the inside although I don't know how much difference it would make looking back on it. Maybe I'll draw up one reversed and see how it looks. Also on the front and back piece would you maybe recommend switching to 1/4" thick plate. The weight gain wouldn't be too substantial since it's a small piece, or maybe even switch to a composite like fiberglass, something that wouldn't bend as much.
