This is an engineering decision. Is it worth it to make a custom chassis? Can we modify the KOP Chassis to fit our needs? What resources are available? If a team decides to make a custom chassis because the KOP one isn't going to work for them, that's a good decision. If a team uses the KOP because it works for them, that's a good decision.

And then there are the teams who turn the KOP chassis into a cart.
