Re: Sheet Metal vs KitBot

The drivetrain is an iteration of what weve run for a few years now. We collaborated with 1323, so they inherited our design.

You are correct that it is not welded. This made it faster and easier four us to build as welding has always been a bottleneck for us.

Edit: apparently I'm an idiot, it just LOOKED bolted in the picture. Questions still stand but disregard my incorrect information.
