I can't tell you anything about this year's robot, but I can tell you a little about the '08 unibody/frame.
First of all:

These pictures should give a decent idea. Other than that, the frame is made from a single sheet of .060" thick 5000 series aluminum. The only welds are on the tops and sides of the corners, this locks the whole frame together. Construction wise, after the sheet is lasered the 'bumper' section on the front and back is bent up. Then, the box-rails running the length on the sides are bent up. After the few welds listed above, the frame is finished.
For '09... I guess we'll have to hope somebody else from 1024 notices this thread...
