Re: pic: 176 Prototype 6WD Rev. 7

Thank you guys for all of the comments thus far!

This will be our first year building just about anything with 80/20, and to go straight to a frame with it is a little nerve-racking. All other robots we've ever built have been either box or angle aluminum, welded by one of our sponsors. Unfortunately, we don't know if we have that option yet, and that was the impetus for trying some CAD with 80/20.

I appreciate the advice on tightening methods, because that's one of the key things we're worried about. Also, thank you guys for the mention of not needing as much support as we've added. I'm going to bring this info to our next meeting and we'll work accordingly.

James
