If the wheels are raised why not going for 8WD instead of 4WD?

Why did you decide to use 4 dual-nano (have no idea what it is but i figured it is a gearbox) instead of 2 gearboxes and using chain/belt to convert the power? might save some weight over there.

I don't know much about sheet-metal drive-train but wouldn't it be wiser to bent the sheet-metal towards the robot instead outwards? My opinion is that it will be much safer, more easy to work with, and stronger. But as i said, i don't know much about sheet-metal drive-train, so i also want to hear an expert on that question...

Thank you

I immediately questioned why the metal was bent out and all though I don't have his answer to it in my opinion it is better to bend out because when you bolt things to the top it allows easier access to the nuts than reaching your hand around to the inside.
