Re: pic: Team 935's Chassis
To go along with some of the other comments here...
Where the bumper zone is on your robot appears to be the weakest area in terms of structure, at least from what I can tell from these pictures. We build our drivetrains (among other things) in a very similar manner as you guys. We use 1/4" aluminum plates, and use round standoffs to hold them together. This is what you have done in your drive system, but above the drive system there does not appear to be any standoffs. Seeing as this is where the bumpers will be, and thus most of your interaction with other robots will be, are you concerned about bending in that area?
Also, was that milled or waterjetted? If it was milled, I'd love to see some pictures of it in process if you have any.
