Re: Chassis Connections

we have always used the pancake design with aluminum plate. typically this takes around 150 metal screws. however when designing the robot this year we didn't really do the math and ended up with around 1400 holes. the box of screws, (2000 8-32 5/8 long button head) weighed almost 10 LBS. lock tight application for the whole robot took 5 people around 10 hours.

due to this, we are going for angle gussets with 1 inch box tube this year, hopefully it will be easier.
