Re: Save time? Use aluminum extrusion kits!
SWEET!
only thing I would add, looking at your photos is to make sure you have triangles in your frame - like bridges do we had a square frame last year made with something similar, and we had a 10" x 18" 1/8" alum plate in the middle that supported pnuematics we moved the plate at our second regional, and our bot was weaving and flexing and swaying like it was drunk then we realized - the rectangle plate had been acting like two connected triangles that were supplying the 'three corner' rigidity we put it back! :c) theres lots of ways you can do this - plexiglass side panels act as triangle - or even just small plates in the corners will be enough to stiffen up your chassis. |
