The Frame thread

[akoscielski3]

the things you should think about while building/designing a frame is

- torque (push through robots playing defence)
- speed (get around the field quickly
- Light frame (don't waist all your wieght on the frame)
- Strong frame (haveing to fix somthing on it or bending it back in place, can cost you the regional if you can't do it fast enough)
- Easy to repair ( ^ )
- easy access points to put frame together ( including wireing, attaching parts, fixing. You don't want to spend a lot of your days during build season building the chassis
- Easy to make ( ^ )
- simple to design the rest of the robot mechanisms on top of it (useing only a few new holes and bolts to attach the mechanism ontop of the chassis, or inside the chassis)

These are things that i have learned over the years that must be thought of while designing a chassis.
