In SOME things that is true, but a whole robot? If this frame got hit hard (which it will), there is a good chance that it would bend. You cant replace a bent part of a robot that is one giant piece. Unless you have infinite quantities of those plates! And besides, building the robot with good ol' nuts and bolts is fun!
