Re: Welding

The kit frame is probably the best time saver there is, and it works fine for many teams in the past (although it was a different frame!)

We are still planning to use a plywood chassis this year, we have a design mostly worked out and hope to have it in Inventor very soon, and will probably post a rendering. This year's game requires a lot of teams to rethink chassis design.

edit: I have a MIG welder, but not TIG, so I don't mess with aluminum. I also have an oxyacetelyne torch, and we could weld a frame of thinwall steel tubing, as 1501 has used in past years
