1885 used 2007's prototype frame that had a million holes in it (but it was still purple) to make a new scrimmage bot for offseason events. This scrimmage bot was the first 1885 bot that was fully CADed and was also the first 1885 bot that used pneumatics. Needless to say, prototypes do not have to go to waste.

That said, we have this year's basic prototype concept frame done and hope to have the drivers driving within the first week so the programmers know who they're programming for. This frame will also be used in the offseason for experimentation with any whacky drive train ideas anyone comes up with.

I don't think 2 frames is a waste, though imho 2 sets of parts for 2 robots is.
