1. A method of creating a configurable, uni-member, bended frame chassis comprising the steps of:
having a single sheet of material;
forming holes at predetermined locations in said single sheet of material;
using said single sheet of material and forming a base, a first side, a second side, a first top plate and a second top plate by;
bending said material lengthwise and upwardly and forming said first side;
bending said material lengthwise and upwardly and forming said second side; and
having said base formed between said first side and said second side;
bending said material lengthwise at a top of said first side and forming said first top plate;
bending said material lengthwise at a top of said second side and forming said second top plate;
having a variety of body parts;
having a variety of fasteners;
using said fasteners for securing said body parts to said chassis at said holes at said predetermined locations;
utilizing said holes at said predetermined locations for affixing a first pair of rotatable member mounts at a first end of said first side and a first end of said second side;
utilizing said holes at said predetermined locations for affixing a second pair of rotatable member mounts at a second end of said first side and a second end of said second side;
affixing rotatable members to said first pair and said second pair of rotatable member mounts;
