 Innovating for the sake of innovating, reinventing the wheel is probably the second biggest pitfall you can fall into when designing an FRC robot, if the wheel is already a very optimized, good solution. - Chris is me [more] |

It's likely you have already heard this, but you should probably put some cross braces between the toughboxes.
Assuming that the baseplate doesn't flex, you will still see alot of flex in the KoP angle brackets and crossbraces will help with that.

You should also put something outside the wheels to support the axles and keep unwanted strain off of them and the gears.

Just remember that keeping the wheel close to the gearbox will minimize the torque on the shaft.
