I second that endorsement.

A couple of naked photos show the chassis the best, for what they're worth.
We later replaces the mock-up skyways shown with AM performance wheels. We also ran all of our chain in the frame rails to keep it out of contact with other things and to provide a larger sepeartion of the bearings for the cantilevered axles. Cantilevered axles were chosen to simplify changing wheels out... we treat treating as a consumable item and swap twice a day or so. All of the axles were mounted in sliders so that the center wheel drop was adjustable and the corners adjusted the chain tension.

The only real suggestion that I have is if you don't have a solid idea for the chassis that you want to build within a couple of days of kickoff, you may want to punt to the kitbot and iinvest the time in you manipulator instead. Week 2 is not a good time to be trying to learn the spreadsheet Billfred mentioned.
