Its McMaster 1630T14. So you recommending something thinner with less pocketing. Thats doable. Im still playing around with best ideas for removing weight and keeping strength.

Chris I like your stuff and if you need any help with CAD, please
email me. Try using 1x2 aluminum. We have using a 1/16 wall and it is fairly light. You can even pocket some out on the sides but none on the top. We created a frame that had a ton of cnc work and played battle bots with it to see if it would crumble. Plus stress testing told us it would be fine. Make sure you have a safety factor of 10 ((Just to be extremely Safe))
