Re: Standard vs. Custom Frame

We have used the kitbot frame with different wheels for the past 2 years.

Besides, it is really inexpensive and durable.
That is mainly why we have used it.
In 2006 we won our regional, and had a good bot (i think). However were not able to collect balls as well as some teams with a different frame.

The kit bot doesn't seem to limit what you can do.
It can limit your robot's ability and quality, but it doesn't require any designing, is easy to build and is is strong.
Although a custom frame is more versatile it can be hard to design and more complicated to build.
