Re: Why didn't your team use the Kitbot frame in 2006?
our team didn't use the kitbot this year because we knew like 696 that we could make a better one for ourselves. we used 2x1 aluminum 1/8 thick tubing and welded a frame (like 254, 60 etc) it is much easier to work with but requires the ability to machine. it worked out well for us and is extremely strong. also the most important feature is that when you finish you can powdercoat it and make it look really sharp because it doesnt matter if it runs well it just has to look good right?
