Regarding the gearing, we are using Toughbox Mini's with the 10:71 Gear reduction because they are going to come in the 2013 KOP.

3/16" plate is *probably* fine if it's integrated with the sheet metal gussets (as suggested by others) and therefore supported by the frame on three sides. Maybe someone else with more experience can chime in here; I'm going off of what I've seen rather than done.
Don't be afraid to forgo the KOP drive train in lieu of the voucher. There are some small things you won't get automatically from the voucher, yet (to me) that doesn't justify adding complexity to a design. I don't remember the details specifically (e.g. can one purchase wheels on the voucher instead of the gearboxes), but it's worth looking into.
While at kickoff I asked Woodie if there were any concerns about missed shots at the center goal hitting the operators or the controls. He handed me a ball and told me to throw it at him as hard as I could... How many times does an opportunity like that come up? - Barry Bonzack [more]
