I know the two high school robotics teams I mentored last year also taped their build tray to make it easier to remove the parts...I would second guess that decision. The build needs to stick firmly to the build surface or it can shift...

Well I'm not entirely certain now if I'll be able to do the 3D printed chassis. I'm currently playing with the idea of a PVC chassis. My concern is good it'll look since I want the chassis to be presentable.
I may also decide to use MHS Chassis parts.

What did you use to design your 3D printed chassis? I'm thinking of doing the same and am curious of your thoughts.
If the PVC route is taken, which size is typically used - 1" OD?

At the moment I am waiting to earn some more money, and for TCSS parts to come back in stock :P. This build log may take a while lol.

So just a quick update. I have decided against using G.O.T.H. parts and am printing the chassis on my own. In addition I found an awesome dude who will be doing an acid etching design for me once I get parts in and he perfects his solution. Since I don't really have a design in mind, he'll be taking over that part too and leave me to approve it. Now its back to waiting for me...
