Re: To build the kit base or not?
Last year, 1293 built the kitbot in the lowrider form. It was solid, and I liked it.
Then Ockham spent two or three days here at USC. Not exactly dainty work, either--it was bumping down the brick walkways and rough paths that come with trying to go from Preston to the BA building. The only problems were a couple of loose nuts. (This is a path that even seasoned students can trip on.) That degree of durability impressed me.
As long as IFI makes it (and we don't come up with anything better), I'll be advocating the Kitbot.
