 We also indirectly benefit from those rookie teams having well-built and working drivebases. It helps raise the level of performance across the board, making for a better competitive environment.

Cautious Encouragement
Just a few words of caution...
For the hole saw rookies: Expect to get a hole LARGER than the hole saw is marked at. How much larger depends on the condition of the hole saw (old and mangled = much larger hole) Also... Keep in mind the possible loads that these members will experience (use a healthy safety factor- depending on location, it could be very difficult to replace at Competition). Run some stress and strain calculations with the proposed reduced cross-sections before you start going completely crazy (2.75" hole in a 3" wide tube  ) with the hole saw... No one wants to have the piece that they spent hours swiss-cheesing break in half... my two cents -Bill |
