neither. in the past we have done sheet metal, 80/20, plate, welded tubes, and any mixture, after our frame this year (gussets, rivets, and tubes) i doubt we will ever go back to any other frame style. the tubes and gussets came together faster than anything we have built, it was much lighter than most of our frames, and it held up to competition like a beast. we use the kit frame for a practice robot, prototyping, and building our carts, but i don't think we would use it for the drive platform. one other thing is that in the process of designing a custom frame the team can learn more than using a pre-made kit frame.
