Frame and Support: Vertical Bracing, Vertical Bracing, Vertical Bracing

 

Starting Materials

 

Back during the days of Challenge 7 (Single Motor Racing Vehicle) we had built a frame that was too large for that vehicle (shown above); but it turned out to be just right for TTM . The frame consists of two sections, each heavily vertically braced. Over the course of the designing of TTM, we added and subtracted sections to create different storage areas (first for the handyboard, then for the balls); but the basic framed stayed the same.
