Is there a web page for the process we went though? Not that I know of. We had one of our mentors (who is a structural engineer) get out all of his old college books, and he did it on paper (which is hanging up in our pits, if you'd like to swing by sometime). He went though all the forces acting upon "our tower" if a robot were to hook at 120 lbs. with all the possible force of that robot in one direct point on the frame.

What is it that your trying to make plexiglass models of?
