Re: Chassis Types
The AM14U is a huge step forward for kitbots; there are certainly some major things that need improvement (cutting it to size is a PITA and error-prone), but it's far better than any other kitbot in FRC history, by my estimation. It's also easily modified to accept better gearboxes than the standard plastic AndyMark ones (AndyMark's plastic gearboxes are something that I've never been pleased with).
I'm excited to see what they do with the kitbot next year; but I'd probably be satisfied using the AM14U again, all things told.
