The chassis isn't chosen from a list: you draw it, square by square, on a six-by-six grid. The panel tells you how many cells you've used and how much the board will weigh before you build it, and you pick its color from eight options.

🎯 The challenge of this lesson

Draw an L-shaped chassis, five cells long, and make another rectangular one, six cells long, in a different color; look at them from above and notice which one weighs more.
