Re: Why didn't your team use the Kitbot frame in 2006?
 

we dont use it because we have plenty of plate acces to a waterjet 4 welders and a cnc plasma cutter. although every year we begin by saying were going to use it because it would be so easy. then we go nuts and make it with the waterjet anyways.

And while I'm at it, why don't I make my own frame that's better?! :]

We are also trying to look at moving away from the KOP chassis for next year, where do you suggest getting this particular type of box tubing and what is a typical cost?

Here's our 2006 frame and here's our 2005 frame. Both made from 6063 aluminum box tubing (1/8" wall thickness) cut, machined, welded, and polished. Bought the box tubing from a local supplier. There are two online suppliers that come to mind where you can check the price.
