For something that large you'll probably need to go with structural steel tubing to get it anywhere near stiff enough.
Thanks guys,I have no drawings yet will look drawings on internet then modify it to my requirement (start learning 360 cad drawing)I am going to use 1/2 inch and 3/8 steel plates flat bar,I did looked drawings here on the forum but I couldn't find anything(maybe I am new to the forum) it will be really helpful if someone can post drawing links here I need also advice about electronics and motion. Thanks
