Questions-Thoughts/Input On First Drivetrain Design

Recently our team has "revived" an old (but new) CNC Router

I've had a chance to get the CNC figured out and thought it'd be good to get started on working out the kinks on Designing and Building these things before build season.

Notes/Features:

*The Drive Plates are constructed out of 2 sheets of Aluminium, with 1"x1" C-Frame wedged in-between the sheets. This is because be don't have a very reliable Break at our school and therefore I can't do complex flanges.

*It features Andy Mark Shifters. I don't have any experience with them so I'm not sure what the configuration is on how to mount them to the Assembly.

*It features 0.050" Sheet Aluminum. I've done some reading on this but still am unsure about the "normal" of what teams are using. Input would be nice to have if you have experience with them

*Also, so far on sheet metal projects i've been using 3/16" Aluminium rivets








Any input (positive or negative) would be appreciated on the Design
