The c channel will not be the only thing holding up the arm. There will be more braces down low and Im also thinking 2 braces coming off the arm to the base forming a huge triangle. There will also be another brace in the front to stiffen things up. As far as electronics they can be put just about any where in there. We really don't have anything else going in...maybe the compressor? Also I want to mount the controller and some things vertically.

The advantage of this over a kit bot is obviously strength and it is perfectly suited for our version of the game. Also there are little things like tensioning slots and such which allows us to run #25 chain without worry.

We used the standard wheels mainly to save weight and they are still fairly grippy. Also the 6" diameter wheels give us about a 9.5fps speed which we are going for.
