Grid Beam - simple modular construction technique

main article: LifeTrac

The basic frame of the LifeTrac is bolted together from 4x4x1/4" square tubing, in an arrangement very similar to the "grid beam" techniques.

  • Would it be possible to build the basic frame using standard grid beams? (2x2" square tubing?)
  • Since both LifeTrac and "grid beam" are open-source, is it possible to make a modular construction system that combines the best parts of both systems?
