(First) Sheet Metal Design- Swerve
This is my first attempt at a sheet-metal chassis. I designed it around my swerve modules which many of you saw transform in a previous thread.
A few important things to note: rivets / rivet holes are not in place yet. Additionally, motors and gearboxes have not yet been integrated.
Please keep in mind that this is the work of about an hour and a half.
Thanks!

Nice rendering. Those chamfered corners may be a pain to put bumpers around.

A chassis such as the one staplemonx posted is making use of the sheetmetal in a structural manner, not as an enclosure such as your design.
