Based upon the original statement that resources are very limited, and assuming that you'll want spend those resources designing mechanisms to play the game, I would strongly suggest the kit frame. Having used the kit frame this past year, it works very well and stood up to 3 events for us without issue.

I'd suggest spending your limited resources on the drive train design (that will run in the kit frame) and the remainder of your robot.

Good luck with whatever you choose to use!!
