The kit frame axle bolts have always been a problem. On past teams that I mentored that used the kit frame, we always swapped out the kit bolts for a real grade 8 bolt. Beware that there is a problem with counterfeit bolts all over. Buy from a reputable supplier. Mcmaster would be one. In 2006 the drivers liked to get up on the platform and give the robot full throttle to launch the robot in the air. I tried to discourage this, but the bolts and frame took it.
