I thought that the frame was COTS too but honestly it doesn't matter. A kit bot drive train with their driver would have done just as good. Their decision to remove the top part of the bot that wasn't working at LA was an example of great outside of the box thinking and a gutsy call. They showed that the minimum design to be a competitive team this year involved more match strategy and quick thinking rather than robot design (and they were a finalist at Las Vegas after they got the top half working).
