Re: KOP Drivetrain vs Voucher

Just a word of warning to those saying "we have old kitbots if we need it", that is fine for prototyping or practice chassis, but may not be competition legal. In the past, the rule has been that a previous kitbot is legal only if it is identical to the current kit version. Since we know for sure that this year's kitbot is significantly different, unless the rules change there is a high probability that previous kitbots will not be FRC2013 legal.

I only point this out in case some teams, especially 2nd year teams, are considering taking the voucher and then relying on a previous kitbot for their chassis or having it as a fall-back option if their custom drive doesn't work.
