Ok,

To answer the FIRST question. 1323 has been welding their frames since 2006. None of our bot's drivetrain welds have broken. They are still intact and you don't have to worry to much about welding your chassis together. Its fine and I prefer welding because there are less nuts & bolts that can get loose during a competition.

Daltore, I'm pretty sure he's using 1/8th or 1/16th wall, solid would just be overkill. Also I think the prongs at the end are for bumpers, just a thought. As for the canterlivering, our team has never done it, so i'll let someone else answer that.
