BASIC CONSTRAINTS YOU, AS AN ENGINEER, HAVE MANY CONSTRAINTS TO WORRY ABOUT:

BASIC CONSTRAINTS WE RUN ON AN EXHAUSTABLE SUPPLY OF FUNDS, WHICH TRANSLATES TO: CO$T

BASIC CONSTRAINTS THE ROBOT HAS A LIMIT ON ITS DIMENSIONS, WHICH TRANSLATES TO: SIZE

BASIC CONSTRAINTS OUR MACHINISTS HAVE LIVES, WHICH TRANSLATES TO: MACHINABILITY

BASIC CONSTRAINTS YOU WILL BE MAINTAINING AND REPAIRING WHATEVER IT IS, WHICH TRANSLATES TO: MAINTAINABILITY

BASIC CONSTRAINTS THE DARN THINGS GOT TO WORK, WHICH TRANSLATES TO: FUNCTIONALITY

Horizontal Bracing ( and | ) Horizontal and Vertical Bracing is supposed to help spread out the impact of a force exerted throughout the structure of the chassis. NOTE: Even after impact, the braced areas retain their original dimensions Areas displaying strength when exerted force upon Areas displaying weakness when exerted force upon Potential shape of chassis after force is exerted upon due to weakness

Cross Bracing (X or / ) Areas displaying strength when exerted force upon Areas displaying weakness when exerted force upon Potential shape of chassis after force is exerted upon due to weakness Cross Bracing is supposed to help spread out the impact of a force exerted throughout the structure of the chassis. NOTE: Even after impact, the braced areas retain their original dimensions

Horizontal + Cross Bracing Areas displaying strength when exerted force upon Areas displaying weakness when exerted force upon Potential shape of chassis after force is exerted upon due to weakness The use of both Horizontal and Cross Bracing enables the impact of most forces to spread out throughout the body of the chassis, allowing the chassis to retain its original dimensions.
