Re: pic: 6WD Sheet Metal

Looks like a good start.

In the past running the math on our drives, with 4 CIMs (and accounting for efficiency losses), there seems to be a large decrease in acceleration right around the 16.5/17 fps point. You should throw your numbers in JVN's calculator and see if you like the performance.

Also, minor nitpick here, but why two different pocketing styles? It'd look a whole lot sleeker if it was all angles versus half and half.

I like the more "complete" design than is usually posted; battery box, electrical board, tensioners, etc... Attention to these details is key for a successful base.
