I disagree with you about cost, the VERSA-chassis will be about $780 with everything minus wheels for 8 wheels. If you are wanting to use the Andymark chassis with 8 wheels, you will need to purchase the upgrade kit which costs $300 and allows you to use 8 6inch higrip wheels. This means the total cost for the Andymark chassis is $899( Keep in mind the $599 KOP bit)
In comparison, you can make a Versa-chassis with 8 6 inch traction wheels for about $860, so roughly the same cost. But the Versa-chassis is way more versatile and you can use the same parts next year, and the year after, which you can't do at all with the KOP chassis.
If you learn how to make a WCD chassis in the off-season you can opt-out of the KOP, receive a $450 PDV from Andymark, which you can buy anything from Andymark with and be able to build a really good chassis next year, which will give you so many more options when designing your robot next. |
I did look at those, and they only supply two mounting points to the versablock. I did not have enough experience to know whether 2 mounting points would be enough for it, but if somebody who's done it before can comment that would be nice.
I'm not sure about that versachassis price. What components did you plan on buying?
