Re: pic: 2851 2014 off-season design: Bottom view with electronics

Is it strong enough? Time will tell. The chassis is inspired by (blatant ripoff of) team 3256, the warriorborgs. That's where we got the idea for the upper level that supports bumpers and provides an interface to the game-piece manipulator. That upper level doesn't have any gussets, but it's welded, and we expect our game-specific device (we call it an EVOM) to provide some stiffness once it's installed. We have 0.75" square cross members in our pocket for the upper center (same function the AM churros provided on one of their chassis) depending on what happens with the EVOM. We are also looking forward to much nicer bumper fasteners: quick-release pins!

If it's going to fail, I would expect the welds for the corner verticals to go first.
