That may be true but machining out plates is a lot harder than doing 1x2 tubes. We have a router (thatz why probably) and are those sides waterjetted or Cnc'd. Just wanting an official word from the team Cory. Also most teams don't have a CNC and a 12 hour day is a lot for a FIRST team. On the brighter note, that chassis is so sick!!!! .

Almost definitely milled. the pockets are far too smooth/shiny for a waterjetted surface.

So THIS is where that pile of shavings came from.
