I wouldn't use this specific layout for competition only because the outer frame rails are only supported at the ends. However, the basic "kitchen drawer" design is strong and rigid. This particular chassis has about eight hours of labor to this point, and most of the work was done by students with very little manufacturing experience. We chose wood for this chassis because it is readily available and allows for multiple axle holes and easy mechanism attachment without compromising the structural integrity.
