Re: pic: 6wd chassis

1/4" thick is always more expensive because it is more material. In the age of bumpers, a properly supported 1/8" plate will more than stand up to the abuses of FIRST. If you want to increase the strength substantially without increasing weight by too much you could bend the plates on the top and bottom to create a flange. This will increase the stiffness of the plate dramatically.
