Looks pretty good.

I'm not sure why so many teams use the 80/20 like this. 80/20 always seemed more useful for attaching things to the sides rather than the ends. But thats just my opinion. Your way would make attaching a manipulator a breeze.

How are you tensioning the chains? Maybe you aren't tensioning them at all? You can get away without tensioners with #35, if you do have tensioners I'd suggest using #25 for weight.

5fps is way to slow... At least it was for this years game... Believe me, that was our low gear and it was useless. I'd suggest 8 fps for the low gear. 8fps was a good speed for our low gear in '07.

38 lbs. seems reasonable, but don't be suprised if it pushes 45 lbs. Nothing wrong with that, just my estimate.

Are the wheels wooden? How do you attach the treads and what kind do you use? Seems like a clever way to make a wheel.

I like how you CAD'ed the bumper mounts. Good to see you're paying attention to the details.
