Looks good.

Keep in mind you need to get your chain breaker in there if you go the chain route.

Needs a battery holder which can be made integrated to the rear panel. Keep in mind you want a short cable run to the PDB

Needs mounting points for your bumpers. We have had success with using locking compression latches.

You could make the chassis thinner to save weight.

Looking at the drive train from the top you could improve access to the front and back wheels by removing some material in the corners.

Think of a cool way to mount your encoders to the drive train away from the motors.

Check with your sheet metal sponsor and ask about using csk head rivets on the bottom to make your bottom smooth. They may have a tool that can csk the holes.

Keep in mind with your squared profile on the front and back of the chassis if there is a ramp the chassis gets lifted and the wheels could come off the ground and free spin.

Lastly access to electronics, cables and pneumatics can come via the bottom of the robot via a removable panel or access cut outs.
