Re: pic: Current Robot Chasis

you should the the corner cube pieces, they provide a lot of stability
on the more stressed parts of the robot, you might want to change out the L brackets with the triangle gussets, they are much more stable
there are also two types of L brackets i know of, one thinner than the other
if you are using the thin ones, definitely change them, or your robot will be scrap

been hiding their talents up to that point, and finally decided to really show their capabilities. And when they did, was it ever impressive!

80/20 is really nice to work with (t-nut mounting system, never have to to drill holes, etc), but I agree to the notion that it's REALLY heavy. We are using it to attach the arm to our chassis, so we can move it up/down and make adjustments super quick.

Keep in mind that the 1010 is like .5 lbs/linear foot....
