One question though on this type of constructive. I imagine one of the trickiest parts of making a sheet-metal frame of this sort is doing the force modeling to understand where you can and cannot remove material.

How are you going about that?
The entire pattern on this was done incorrectly and very hastily, I did not look at the loads that well. I am redoing the pocketing right now. Obviously I made all mounting holes like JVN said and then carefully pocketed leaving .75" in between everything in the second iteration. Mostly I've been studying the CAD from 148's 07-09 bots along with a few others and just working off of that.

I also redid the assembly to make it monocoque. I'll post it up later tonight.
