I know that may be hard because its so new and the veteran teams may not have gotten one.

What about the VersaChassis? Do you think its a good drive train? It may be a good choice because you can make it a more custom size which could be useful for this year with the big game piece.
I like the AM14U, kind of sorry we didn't opt for it. You can build it as is, wide or long. It also looks like it would be possible to build 30" x 26" square, which may be a good option for some teams this year. For a rookie team, I'd strongly recommend getting a moving drivetrain running as soon as possible, and using the extra time to practice.
