Where are your relays and pneumatic components going? How is the battery restrained? How thick is the tubing on the frame rails?
The gearboxes look similar to our 2008 gearboxes. Are you using plastic sideplates? Is the rear wheel direct driven?
One thing you might consider to stiffen the chassis is to have the wooden baseplate extend under the siderails (except where the wheels are.)

Thanks Nick,
I'm probably going to wire it all up and then release an updated pic. The pneumatics will go in the front, since there is a lot of room there. I'll probably have to reorganize the electronics to fit everything.
The back wheel is directly driven and I think I might use pocketed aluminum sideplates. I noticed with some of our gearboxes that were made with delrin flex a lot more than I would've liked. But for lunacy they were fine.
As for the idea of extending the wood, that is a great idea. I will end up redoing the wood then. Thanks,
