Our team did use the kitbot frame in 2006. But I sure wished we hadn't.
The problem with that frame is that it has no cross bracing to prevent bending. Over time it will slowly deform.
Which is what happened to us.
We started out with a six-wheeled, rocking (center wheel lowered), robot and ended our last match without any rock. The whole frame had literally been bent into an arch, with all six wheels flat on the floor.
To make matters worse the sides also bent in-wards!
This distorted our chain path causing us to perpetually lose chains during matches.
I will be very hesitant to use the kitbot again in the future.
