That is 121's chassis, I believe it was live axel, it was definitely 6 wheel drive, and they tensioned the chain with out using sliding wheels. This drive system proved to work out very well for them with regional wins both years that they used the kit frame. 121 certainly used it for more than just showing up with a driving robot. I would say that their designs were certainly effective. The kit bot doesn't seem to limit what you can do.
I never said you couldn't make a good robot using the kit frame. Just that it's my personal opinion that I wouldn't if I had the resources to do otherwise.
