Well, let me address this as well as I can (I have emailed the gentleman who had spearheaded the idea in hopes that he can better elaborate). Basically, yes, the kit would be divided into 2 kits where each team could say ahead of time whether they wanted the "robot-in-a-box" kit, or just the basic parts (motors, etc). The idea behind it said that through the years, there are many parts in the KOP which could be released that would not give away the game, that could be released as "non-kit-bot" and would allow the teams to decline other parts. This notion was, for the most part, agreed on by all forum participants.
I think I have gotten most of it correct. Anyone who was at the MI forums and thinks I got it wrong, please step in to correct... Zondag??? Tenbrink???
