1/8" uhmw is kinda... uh... flexible... 1/4" is about as think as you can go while keeping *some* rigidity.
Kitbots 1000rpms are $12 and silver sparks are $24. 4 tiny esc's are going to run you $134. two Botbitz6's are $34 plus shipping. 996

3/4" uhmw is more than enough for a 30... Realistically you can go as thin as 3/8" and still hold a screw fine. 1/8" chromoly is really thick and heavy. Did you check your weight yet? I can't see how you are going to cram everything in for less than 1lb. I just did some rough estimates and came up with about 16 oz spent on the frame, wedge, and top/bottom armor.
You are also going to be on the large and slow side with the wheels and motors you want to use (about 1mph on 3s) You would be fine with 4 11:1 sparks and 2 1/4" wheels (about 5mph on 3s). Math: [(motor output rpm) * (wheel dia) / 366] = speed of robot in mph It would almost be cheaper to switch building a 3 and using kitbots 1000rpm motors with two botbitz6 esc's 997
