We were very proud of the simplicity of our chassis design this year. Thanks for noticing!
Yes, the motor mounts consist partially of modified 80/20 joining plates. It would not have been any harder to just use 1/4" aluminum though. I will see about posting the details. Our drill motor mounting technique was developed before I joined the team and I don't know if it is considered a "trade secret" or not.
In the mean time, I've attached a picture of the motor mounts that was in the "Keeping it Simple" poster that we had on display at nationals.
