Go to Post In 2012, we built our best machine ever. Some visitors to our pit were visibly disappointed to find that our machine was a pile of extruded aluminum and urethane belting, just cleverly arranged and programmed. - OZ_341 [more]

A better example might be 173 RAGE, who has used a Birch chassis almost exclusively since at least 2001, and have won a Championship and a division and several regionals with it. (and pre-bumper era too!)

Search CD media for it, it's arranged very similar to yours. I would suspect your frame would hold up quite well with some aluminum angle on the corners and a few cross braces between the drive plates.
