If you did that, you could reduce the beefy super structure you have and save more weight than cheese-holes ever could.
Someone else already mentioned my other concerns, good luck!
Yeah those were going (bridging the gap) to be added as soon as the rest of the bot was decided upon. We will probably do three to four beams across and one across the top of it.
