That said, I doubt next year's game will involve so much ramming, so you might be able to get away with it.

Thanks for the advise. That's something that would have to be decided after the game is announced.
I think that this chassis would be fine in most games because the extrusions would have strong gussets, and a large belly pan to support them.
