Other things you could do with the unused KoP elements include:
~Making a robot cart
~Making an outreach/demo bot
~Fall/Summer projects
~Cool looking pit display
and probably a bunch of other things
Or in a spin on that idea and to tie in with Chairmans, why not donate it to teams who don't have that much money, who can use the extra parts? Also, prototyping is easy with the kit bot, just ask 384's team head this year Crebb.
