A bedpan will strongly reinforce the frame in terms of hits on the corners. It can be very light, such as a 1/16th sheet of Aluminum, or even 3/8" plywood. We use 3/16" lexan or delrin, for the stiffness and ease of component mounting. It gives you a good surface for your electronics, and will also elimenate the need for gussets.
