Don't misunderstand the meaning of "Kit of Parts". It's not a robot kit. It's essentially a bin of donated motors, pneumatic components, gears, connectors, chains, wheels, cheap joysticks, software, sealed lead-acid batteries, etc.

There are a few more high-level things in the KoP: the equivalent of an erector set for making a simple chassis if you want to, reducing gearboxes (some assembly required)...and the full programmable control system with RF communication. But it's not a "robot kit" that teams "put together" to make robots.
