Re: pic: We didnt have to uncart our robot

Ok I will have to agree to another point made which was not all teams can afford an all diamond plate crate so with this in mind I have come up with another solution A Metal Frame / Chassis with Wooden Walls That way the crate can still be durable and won't flex if properly welded and the walls properly attached with the write Nuts and Bolts - I'm pretty confident that this type of crate would work well both weight and price wise b/c you really don't need to use alumnium tubing but instead use the "L" shaped pieces. All though a all Alumnium Crate (Espicially Diamond Plate if done the right way and trust me I have seen at least 1 or 2 teams do it) looks quite spectacular and gets some heads to turn.


So You have 2 options:
1) An All Aluminum Crate Probably weighing in at about 300lbs or so
2) An All Aluminum Chassis with wooden walls weighin in at about 265lbs or so

Weight is w/o the robot and will allow the teams to still be creative with the Drill Press or CNC Machine =)

Metal will always out last wood if 2 of the following don't occur Rust or Bend.
