Have you put any thought into how you would build this chassis if that was going to be an offseason project or something? To me, it seems pointless to design a robot that is impossible for YOUR team to build. Not just a hall of fame team, or a world champion team, but your team. What you have right now looks like it is un-manufacturable to me, but maybe it is just the way that I am looking at it.

If I were you, I would try and figure out what it is that you are trying to learn from this experience, is it just to learn the concept of CAD? Or is it to get practice for the build season? Or Is it to learn how the world champion and hall of fame teams build robots and why they do certain things to their robot?

Once you establish what it is that you might try to learn from the experience, it will guide you as to how you would proceed from here. I did a similar thing last fall. I was eventually just told by our lead mentor to stop doing that and make a robot that we could build, (given only a spec, and a general construction technique) and because I gained more of the experience of how to make a robot that my team could build it helped A LOT more in the build season.

Oh no this is something that I am doing for practice and also for a chassis for a team potential standard go to chassis, (Minus the cut in the front) I built this all using the sheet metal tool so idk how it would be not build-able? care to explain how it wouldn't?
