I don't think the kit frame is low enough to the ground for my liking. does anyone know how much the kit frame weighs, anyway?

IIRC about 13lbs total. Pretty good if you ask me especially considering how easy it is to use to get started and how much abuse it can take and how flexible it is and that it is free! I know our team could never design and build a frame as light and strong and flexible as the kitbot frame with the resources we have.
There are lots of ways to "lower" the frame if you want to. Flip it upside down and make some aluminum pillow blocks and you can drop it to the ground if you wanted to. Flip it upside down and slap a couple of the new IFI 4" wheels on there an you should be pretty low.
BTW: How do you know low is a good thing this year? Since we don't know what the game is yet, low may be a bad thing.
