Re: pic: 2009 robot idea

One thing - I always like keep things simple and easy with few parts.

Have you considered just using aluminum C-channel (or even square tubing) for the left and right areas where the wheels are? A hole saw can make quick weight savings holes, and you don't need the fasteners, the machining, etc. It's stronger, lighter, and easier to make. Just a suggestion.
